[For a moment, D wants to tell Eustace that, if anything, Dokja could just side with Zenith and hedge his bets on having an Eustace Shard at the end. If it even worked that way.

[D has no real true ties to the Frontier, not ones he values himself. Not except for finding the Sacred Ancestor and having questions answered, putting a stop to the perfect being creation.
So he thinks again about the desperation of being a Zenith for a Shard. He wouldn't have one important to him, and he wonders if the two of them could hold onto Gray and Eustace together if it were just the two of them left.]
What will you do now with the time you have with him?
