More often ‘n not just along for the ride these days, Raza is perched on the other side of the fountain, listenin’ and watchin’ with sleep-blurred eyes. Long night at the Hanged Man keep the barkeep far too busy to trouble herself with anythin’ outside booze and smugglin’.
“Aye,” she drawls, takin’ a sip of a water flask. “Gotta toe the line ‘tween not being activated by stupid kids an’ drunks, and not leavin’ us high ‘n dry.” What she doesn’t voice is just as tellin’, about the possibility of in-fighting in Torchline, how many groups have cycled through Governorship and how that spot was taken. The Queen thinks she’s safe. And she might be, but is anyone ever truly safe in Torchline?
“I think offensive is better, but if it’s gonna be real hard t’decide how to trigger it, just go with defensive.” No need t’try and make it perfect. It just needs to work.
