and dropped <strong>it</strong> into a scrollcase and, w<strong>it</strong>h apologies for shattering the<br />
academic quiet of the place, left.<br />
I crossed the town again to reach the dwelling of KoHr and was <strong>so</strong>on<br />
talking w<strong>it</strong>h him across a wide temwood table in his study. Aiken, having<br />
received my message, hurried to join the conference.<br />
Talarius~FC~Aneesha~Ven~AMB : Brothers I called You here as I need<br />
the help of a few I can trust implic<strong>it</strong>ly and I do not conceal the fact that I<br />
could be putting You Both in real peril.<br />
I outlined to them all that had learned and how I came by <strong>it</strong>, leaving out no<br />
details or doubts that I possessed. Staunch Fellows both, they gave their<br />
uncond<strong>it</strong>ional support, covering up their own misgivings w<strong>it</strong>h jokes and<br />
banter.<br />
Talarius~FC~Aneesha~Ven~AMB : Akab KoHr, could You take Your tarn<br />
up there, You know those hills better than I from Your travels and will<br />
attract less attention than others. Try to find out the lie of the land, stay<br />
away from the s<strong>it</strong>e though, just find out what might awa<strong>it</strong> Us in that area<br />
around the P<strong>it</strong> of the Dead and North of there when We leave the road.<br />
Talarius~FC~Aneesha~Ven~AMB : Akab Aiken, I will entrust to You the<br />
task of quietly gathering up transport and provisions for the journey.<br />
Sufficient for six travellers perhaps as I am yet unsure who else We may<br />
have need of. I am thinking of bosk wagons and that We may be best<br />
travelling in disguise.<br />
Aiken looked to Me and, knowing His expertise w<strong>it</strong>h Tarns and His<br />
probable bemusement as to the request for Bosk wagons… I continued<br />
speaking…<br />
Talarius~FC~Aneesha~Ven~AMB : I can see the thought race through<br />
Your mind Akab but whilst I know tarns would be far faster, a party of<br />
High Caste in the air over that location would likely attract unwanted<br />
attention.<br />
Both Men nodded and, after <strong>so</strong>me more talk on the details, w<strong>it</strong>h a clasp of<br />
hands the company dispersed.
