Banner and Kosabeus

''“You’re just my Prophate, Kosabeus,” he said, wiping his lips. “Not on my cabinet or anything. I don’t bend to your will. You bend to mine.”''

''Kosabeus stifled a laugh. “As you wish, my Lord Regent,” he said, bobbing his head. “I didn’t mean to overstep.”''

''“Like hell you didn’t.” Banner looked Kosabeus up and down, a smug sneer on his lips. “You’ve never understood your place.”''

“Oh, please do remind me what that is.”

''“You rank below me, Kosabeus.” Banner motioned around the hall with wild abandon. “Everyone does.”''

''“My, my.” Kosabeus placed his glass on the refreshment table. “What has prompted this sudden ego trip?”''

Banner and Kosabeus are one of the seven Lord Regent/Prophate pairings.
