Blind Man's Bluff |
Captain Balhir overlooks the city in ink, tracing the well-worn sheet: from keep to wharf, and back to The Bottle. Mooncalf monkeys, he snorts derisively, lays a fork on Violin Street, handle keep-wards. The many tines slide Row-ward, like snakes into their holes. There's a leak, he's told. Find it! Lord Vorondur and Castamir want some new municipal pendants – “Longnecks” indeed! Crystal clear, what's wanted; he but needs some cookie crumbs to follow. So he'll ensure the lock-up's full: desperate folk'll talk. Won't be only Longnecks swinging, he smiling muses. Who'll live together can hang together... |
