Cautiously, Devero trails after Heber, startling visibly when the flogger is held out to him. He looks from the man to the implement, then back to the man, before finally reaching out to take it with fingers that are definitely shaking a little. He grips the handle tight, drawing the flogger to his chest and straightening up.

No. Better to be honest. He licks his lips again, bowing his head as he says, "I have some experience, my Lord. My training with Lady Valdana was...extensive. It will be an honor to wield this for you, if you still wish me to do so."
