Jaxen was concentrating on the task at hand, barely listening to his visitor and co-murderer. He wasn't exactly sure how he felt about this new development. He never truly considered killing anyone before, monster or not. The cannibal guys didn't count, they were actual monsters. Even though he didn't actually kill any of them, he was more than happy to let White take care of it. Sybaris did nothing except get a fangy-hard on for him, and who could blame her for that. Thoughts betraying him, he glanced at her face. She had been pretty, for an old broad. She'd said she was a thousand years old, or more, he couldn't remember.
Li did ask something at the end of his rant that caught his ear, and Jaxen's gaze traveled the short distance upward to the man's face. God he was boring. "She didn't send me after anything. I was going to get it on my own."
There was probably no harm in telling him the rest. Maybe saying it out loud would make some sense of it. He shrugged. "She said i'd find something, and to bring it to her when I did."
A bad taste filled his mouth then, and he stifled a shiver. His voice fell to a whisper, "And now that she's dead, I know the truth. I would have done it. I would have done anything she said. And I don't know why."
It did sound stupid now. He took a breath, shook off the atmosphere clutching at him, and zipped up his bag. "Looks like it doesn't matter now. You have a ride to the airport?"
"I'll ride with you."

Thus ends the reign of Sybaris
