When the messenger arrives at the Lake View Tavern in the Kyonin settlement of Greengold and asks for Farzin Maaravi, a blond half-elf woman at the bar stiffens in surprise, although she quickly catches herself and concludes her transaction: selling a vial of enchanted rose water, a cure-all and a specialty of hers, a formula she learned while studying at the Erages Academy, of course. She bids her client goodbye, pockets her silver, turns to the messenger, and in a voice much deeper than before, she says, "I know Farzin Maaravi. He's my husband." With her charms, she persuades the messenger to hand the letter over to her. Of course she'll deliver it. Of course she understands it's urgent, and of course she knows that no one else is to read it. Don't be silly. Letter in hand, she quickly rushes out of the tavern, too hurried to heed the calls to come back and pay her tab. Later, walking along the docks, reunited with his magpie familiar, Papayo, and his disguise long faded, Farzin stows aboard a merchant ship headed up the Glass River, and thus his journey to Mishkar begins. |
