"And you, how are you called?" Nectan turns his sunny smile on Inric. "Inric." "You helped too, right? Did you see what happened?" "I did not." "Did he say anything to you?" "He was unconscious when I arrived," Inric says, skirting round the truth. "Forgive my curiosity, but where are you from?" "A long way away." "And where are you going?" "It would appear that I am going to Lethey." "Oh look," Kelyn says suddenly, and the tension between her two companions dissipates as they follow her pointing finger. "Is that the rest of the caravan?" "Ah yes, good," Nectan laughs easily, but he doesn't return to questioning Inric.
