He places a hand on Scream's shoulder in what starts as a friendly seeming gesture, but then his grip tightens, crumpling the artist's tunic. "He works here, or not at all."Letting go of the artist again, the Emperor gives a brief smile, then, seemingly unconscious of the action, runs his tongue over the sores around his mouth."Of course, his work's not been as good lately. Keeps going on about the losing the 'blue dreams', don't you Scream? You should see the work he used to produce. Real scary stuff."Scream swallows hard, and looks to the floor as he nods slightly.After Mhairi interjects after the brief conversation in Celestial (which neither Scream nor the Emperor show any signs of recognising), Pilts gives a harsh laugh."Chitters here is what's known as an ettercap, my girl," he says. He gestures in the direction of Devargo. "But ask your friend there. Yes, don't think I didn't recognise our erstwhile Spider King, even with his hood up. What brings you here Devargo? Come to talk to your old friend?" He turns back to Mhairi. "Chitters used to work for Devargo here, until he saw which way the wind was blowing. At least I don't keep him locked up the bilges of a dank old ship. And thanks to him and his dream spiders I now control all the production of Shiver in this city. Poor old Devargo, left with nothing. Still, it's right that a king should bend the knee to an emperor, is it not?"</blockquote>
