I shake my head, not knowin’ the answer to either of his questions, then remember a tidbit I’d heard at the bar.
“Dunno, but it ain’t the only Ascended attack. There was somethin’ in the Grounds, heard it at the bar. The Queen and an’ another are dead. But I don’t think that’s widely known yet.” I know I should probably be more… conscientious about deliverin’ that bit of news, with Remi bein’ from the Grounds and all. But I didn’t know ‘em. And this is work, it ain’t comfort at the bar time.
“We got some enthusiasts, nat’rally. Any excuse for violence.” I scoff. Mostly idiots who want a new target to beat on, other than their poor wives. “Some who are horrified an’ have never met an Ascended, so they don’t have any idea what’s so bad about 'em or what's goin’ on. Others are makin’ bets - but it sounds like most everyone agrees it ain’t from someone in Torchline.”
Which I, personally, agree with too. The writing was far too eloquent.
