I'll burn that bridge behind me when I come to it. I doubt it would be a problem. He's already had Jhereg, Taltos, Athyra, Agyar...

It is the basic condition of life, to be required to violate your own identity. At some time, every creature which lives must do so. It is the ultimate shadow, the defeat of creation; this is the curse at work, the curse that feeds on all life. Everywhere in the universe." - "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" - Philip K. Dick
