Abenthy gave me an appraising look. I’d been waiting for it. It was the look that said, “You don’t sound as young as you look.” I hoped he’d come to grips with it fairly soon. It gets tiresome being spoken to as if you are a child, even if you happen to be one.

“Did I wake you up?” I asked Denna. “I don’t remember. . . .”
“In a way you did,” she said. “You nodded off and tipped right onto me.” Denna trailed off as she watched me slowly come to my feet. “Good lord, you look like someone’s arthritic grandfather.”
“You know how it is,” I said. “You’re always stiffest when you wake up.”
She smirked. “We womenfolk don’t have that problem, as a rule.”

“IT’S A DRAGON,” Denna whispered.
“There’s no such thing as dragons.”
“Look at it! It’s right there! Look at the huge goddamn dragon!”
“It’s a draccus,” I said.
“It’s a goddamn huge dragon and it’s going to come over here and eat us.”
“It doesn’t eat meat,” I said. “It’s an herbivore. It’s like a big cow.”
She looked at me, her eyes wide, & spoke softly with a slight quaver in her voice, “Mooooo.”

"You threatened him with your crop.”
“We had an argument & I happened to have my crop in my hand.”
“You waved it at him."
“I’d been riding!” Sovoy said hotly. “If I’d been whoring before class and waved a corset at him, no one would have thought twice about it!”
There was a moment of silence at our table.
“I’m thinking twice about it right now,” Simmon said before bursting into laughter with Wilem.

Once I knew what was bothering me, the greater part of my uneasiness left. Fear tends to come from ignorance. Once I knew what the problem was, it was just a problem, nothing to fear.

As I’ve mentioned, Tarbean has two main sections: Hillside and Waterside. Waterside was poor. Hillside was rich. Waterside stank. Hillside was clean. Waterside had thieves. Hillside had bankers—I’m sorry, burglars.
