Yeah, he doesn't do well with personal slights. I've seen...enough. Uh...how safe you are with him comes down to how important or replaceable you are. That's why maybe, if I call things off now, it wouldn't be a disaster. It only happened a few times, it was casual...he'd be mad, yeah, but I've done things he doesn't like before. I was supposed to kill Larry, he knows I didn't, he didn't do anything over it. I wasn't supposed to kill Harold, but I did, and he didn't care. I really don't understand who decided or how he knows, he'd never give me a straight answer, but Flagg didn't choose me. Some greater force chose me for him.
[Nadine is certain that's what offers her the small level of protection she's granted. Flagg apparently can't just go out and find another wife, for whatever reasons, it has to be here. Why else would he go through all the effort he had? Why reach out to her when she was a child, decades before anyone else even knew he existed? Why take such great care with her?
But she knows even that only goes so far. Sleeping with someone? Not ideal, but potentially not the end of the world. She's gotten the impression that emotional fidelity is far more important.]
And again, he's never really been great with straight and complete answers. All he said was that it was possible, and he'd be happy to, but there's a price. Which I know, that...that was sort of the point. I figured...it'd be easier. Easier to love him, to be with him, to be what he needed me to be. I'm already damned beyond redemption, I know that, so what did it matter? Anyway, he....touched me and said that was it and he'd start teaching me soon. But then he vanished, and I didn't think that much about it....until I accidentally turned into a wolf the other month. It's probably not a big deal, but...it's something you should know about.
