THE SORCERESS OF KARRES — Snippet 34
“But… you’ve just sentenced them to forty years in the Kaba mines.”
Ah. He was rather mistaken as to who Goth was. Well, she wasn’t going to change that. “The locals did that for us, yes. But I haven’t — yet — told them about you. So: you tell me all you know and I’ll leave it that way.”

Her heart was in her mouth as she felt for her fur muff that she’d left the rest of her jewelry in. It wasn’t there!

When Jihan returned to the Jaolore elian-house that night, the building smelled quite fresh with boughs of pungent purpleleaf tacked up in strategic locations and the wooden floors polished. They still creaked when she stepped inside, but she imagined that in another day, at the present level of industriousness, even that would be remedied.

“Later,” said Goth. “I have to go now. You behave yourself.”
“Uh…”
“Open the door, please.”
And they were out in the dingy street, walking away.
“Quite soon,” said Goth quietly, “we’re going to run. ‘Kay?”
Pausert nodded. “What was that all about?”

But these others were hardened unassigned. No one would ever take any of them. The proper way to increase Jaolore would be to wait until Festival came round, but it would not occur again until the next warm season, a very long time from now. And any helpers she begged from established elian would be at least as resentful as Kajin, perhaps even worse.

“His suns soul roams the lands of Erleg Khan, my daughter,” said the shaman, calmly. “I must call it back to join his other souls here under the bowl of heaven.”

Chapter 16
One of the nicest things about Pausert as younger man. Goth decided, was that he looked to her for leadership. Not that she wanted him to all the time, but she could see how their roles would change as they grew older. Now, he was very trusting of her. If she’d said to almost any other person, “‘I need to sell this miffel-fur coat,” they would have wanted to know why, and formed opinions about her because of that. Pausert had just smiled and said that there really was only one place to sell that kind of thing, and that he’d show her the way straight after school. Now she just had to survive school.

Chapter 5
The sun beat down like a hammer from the cloudless sky of Outremer as they rode toward Ascalon. Well, Manfred had to admit that the hammer part could also be from the amount of wine he had drunk last night. The glare off the polished armor added insult to the throb in his head. After the departure of Eneko Lopez and his companions — and as a very odd companion indeed, Francesca de Chevreuse — and a small escort of the Ilkhan’s warriors, things had gotten a little rowdy. Manfred, in between wishing for a drink, had time now to think about that escort. It would seem as if the Ilkhan’s local representative, the Bashar Ahmbien, was sparing no effort to please the delegation from the Holy Roman Emperor. They even had a writ of safe conduct as the escort of an emissary, with the seal of the Ilkhan himself.

Chapter 11
“He is no longer unassigned,” Jihan said. “You will accord him the respect of a youngest!”
Pyr looked up, refusing to flinch. “Unassigned wander the colony every day, seeking work, if no one comes to the dochaya to secure their labor,” he said. “Such — as I was — see many houses on a regular basis, while those who have their own elian mostly stay home unless they have outside tasks. I remember a small structure that may well suit your — our — needs.”
