тАЬYouтАЩve heard of him, then?тАЭ

тАЬWhat?тАЭ Daeno laughed aloud. тАЬEvery dweomerworker in these parts has heard of Nevyn! He spent
years and years in the islands, you know, over the last two hundred years or so. HeтАЩd turn up for twenty,
thirty years at a time, then disappear again for even longer. Probably sailed back home to your kingdom.
You must know all about it.тАЭ

In fact, Jill didnтАЩt, and she was rather surprised to find it out now. Daeno went blithely on.

тАЬBut to get back to the problem in hand, if you want to sail south, I suppose that AnmurdioтАЩs the best
place to look for a ship.тАЭ

When Jill arrived back at the caravanserai, she found the troupe hard at work, readying costumes and
props for the evening show. Salamander himself was sitting on the bed of a wagon with his feet dangling
over the edge like a farm boy and whittling like one as well. On a piece of driftwood shaped much like a
bird, he was carving details.

much time and ingenuity, to say naught of cleverness, craft, wit, and willingness upon the dweomer, I
should soon match you.тАЭ

тАЬSurpass me, more like. YouтАЩve got the fluid natural talent that I never had.тАЭ

тАЬOh, please, tease me not and mock me neither.тАЭ

тАЬNaught of the sort. IтАЩve had to work blasted hard for everything IтАЩve accomplished, while it comes easy
to you. I supposeтАФno, I knowтАФthatтАЩs why I get so sour with you.тАЭ

тАЬOh.тАЭ He considered the wooden bird with a frown. тАЬWell, that does put a different complexion on
things, truly. Jill, you have my apologies. I try to control my frivolous nature, but itтАЩs just somewhat I was
born with, I fear me.тАЭ

тАЬItтАЩs somewhat that could be overcome.тАЭ

He shrugged and went back to refining a small burl that resembled a wing.

тАЬEba├▒y, I just donтАЩt understand you.тАЭ

тАЬI donтАЩt understand myself.тАЭ

тАЬWould you please not put me off?тАЭ

He looked up, abruptly solemn, yet she couldnтАЩt tell if he were sincere or merely arranging the
expression she wanted to see.
