"And now and then stab, as occasion serves" is another Marlowe quote, and one Deven would subscribe to. He resorted to the Latin mostly because he didn't have anything for stabbing. Also, area of effect.
More to the point, the Goodemeades were useful for convincing him not all fae were lying bitches and/or murdering bastards. (And for cheerfully meddling in his love life. They knew exactly what they were asking for, when they suggested he give Lune a ride back to London.)
I included 'choosing the right weapon for the job' as part of 'figuring things out'. But yes, definitely a stabby sort of person when necessary.
Drat it, *, I do not need more encouragement to become an Elizabethan theatre nerd. Really. I am half-sick of a particular smugness I see in some Elizabethan theatre nerdiness-- which I realize may not actually be there-- and I cannot learn everything all at once. And here you come with quotes! And spies! And historical context which does not exclude underhill interference!
*I find I want to say Bryn here, and I am not sure if this is right. Ideally, there would be some confluence of names, a nickname that serves for both, but no.
Swan? You can always go with the username as a basis. But, eh, welcome to the confusion of my nomenclative* life.
My Elizabethan theatre nerdiness is amateur in the extreme. I've read only one Marlowe play, and seen none performed, much less anybody else who isn't Shakespeare. But he's got some very quotable lines.
"But that was in another country, and besides, the wench is dead . . . ."

*I suspect I just made that word up.
