Fic: Scandal

Author: Beatrice_otter
Fandom: The Goblin Emperor Series – Katherine Addison
Rating: Gen
Length: 2337 words
Summary: The Ulineisei of Amalo are a nest of vipers. Thara may not see the implications of the Ulisothala's treatment of him, but Anora can.
On tumblr. On AO3. On Pillowfort.
Anora watched his friend Thara walk blearily out of his office and frowned in frustration and worry. Thara was a good man of deep virtue and compassion, who was yet ill-equipped to be anything but frankly truthful. And in the snake pit that was the politics of the prelates of Amalo, that was a grave fault indeed. Thara accepted this and, in turn, accepted treatment that he should not. Anora had begun worrying for his friend's future here not long after they had first become friends, when it became clear to him just how ill-equipped and unwilling Thara was to advocate for himself.
( But this went beyond—far beyond—mere ill-treatment of Thara himself, for all Thara seemed not to see it. )
