About This Quote

I was not so comfortable with my new authority that I could say 'We eat the chicken now!' but the magus had seen that I was considering it. It was a position of great power, but as he said, I didn't feel comfortable taking it. He knew I wasn't ready to become the magus, and his reward for knowing me as well as he did was to let me know that he knew it.
