The Finisher (Vega Jane #1)

“Duf Delphia?” He nodded. “I know his status. I saw him at hospital last night before he was moved to the Care. It is quite tragic.” I was surprised that he had visited. Delph hadn’t said. But then again, Delph had a lot to think about now. “Morrigone said that Duf would be taken care of by Council.” “That is quite correct. He was struck down while on Council work on the Wall. He will receive life wages and timbertoes at our cost.” “That is very generous,” I said. “But what of his occupation?” “You mean as a beast trainer? I have never seen a finer one in all my sessions, but now, with no legs? You can well see the difficulty.” “I can. But if he is paired with another Wug who has an interest in beast training? Duf could teach him, for Wormwood will need another one of course. The Wug could act as Duf’s legs while he is properly trained up.” Thansius added, “And that way Mr. Delphia could have not just coin with which to live on, but a proper purpose for his remaining sessions?”

YES PLEASE THANSIUS HELP DUF
