The courier gave a silent nod of approval as Sah lifted Lilly up and out of danger. If the Advisor fell in they'd be in bigger trouble with two to rescue instead of one... But that just meant he'd have to make extra sure Sah stayed out of the tar.

The beginning was the easy part, of course. Almost like the Tar Pits were trying to lure people in, but that would be silly, right? Ha... ha...
Tal didn't dare look back while he was walking so he missed Sah's flinch, but the tone of his voice was a pretty clear warning. So of course the courier's curiosity was immediately aroused. "Aren't you guys still friends?" A question that was actually genuine; he hadn't read the letter, but the flower was pretty obviously a courting gift.
Which, if Sah's reaction was anything to go on, hadn't been reciprocated. But Maeve had still seemed to appreciate it, at least.
