White Dog said, "Yours is a very important role Tizenegy. As Horatio you are the keeper of Hamlet's secret. You are the only one he trusts. You must fool everyone else into believing Hamlet's madness is real."

"You know me, White Dog. I am not good with secrets." "But that is exactly why Hamlet trusts you; you are genuine and of good character. You are not seeking to gain any prize. And deep in his soul, I think Hamlet knows that you alone are the one he trusts to tell his story with honesty to the rest of the world."

"Like this?" Tiz asked as he quoted his final lines in the play.

"Now cracks a noble heart. Good-night, sweet prince;

And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest."

White Dog nodded. "I like the catch in your voice and the way you look up as if you see angels coming down to sing. You capture all of the angst and pain of seeing your prediction come true AND of losing a lifelong friend. I think the hardest part will be working so closely with Roman as Hamlet without you two brothers in real life getting into one upsmanship."
