I have seen him a few times.” Laugh.” A Black Sun man. Said to be very religious and all that, not that I have seen any of it … I wouldn't call him a fop, really, but I guess ...someone ... might think so.“ Amolina tried to draw back a bit, but the bartender held on tenaciously, set on making the most of the rare attention he received. “There’s more. “ Well, the handbook adviced the beginner intelligencer to work by listening to hearsay and this was hearsay.

Besides, that kind of room was a one of those places where it typically was simple to chat and listen to gossip … If there was such a room … Amolina started to look around in the hopes of finding a mirror and a new hub for gossip and hearsay … |
