I blinked, "Why would anyone ever sniff at your britches?"<br />

"Beats me. Someone's nicked more than few pair <strong>of</strong> them, though. My<br />

favorite leather brassier, <strong>to</strong>o, with the iron studs." She hmphed angrily.<br />

Someone was stealing from Kimasxi <strong>to</strong>o? I went back <strong>to</strong> Nenny’s room.<br />

"Kimasxi said someone's <strong>be</strong>en taking things from her room, <strong>to</strong>o. Have you<br />

seen anything odd?"<br />

Nenny's eyes suddenly went wide. "Oh! That's right! You know, once I saw a<br />

man sneaking out <strong>of</strong> Kimasxi's room while she was out talking <strong>to</strong> a patron... I<br />

watched the front <strong>do</strong>ors all that day, but he never, ever left! Isn't that odd? I<br />

<strong>do</strong>n't think he could have made it out a win<strong>do</strong>w, and so I never figured out<br />

"Rattlin' yer bone-box isn't gonna get yeh results," Annah replied, "'Sides,<br />

yeh could use a lesson or two in the cunnin' ways."<br />

"Do you think Dak'kon would really follow through with this, chief? I mean,<br />

sods that old either love young girls' undergarments or never give 'em a<br />

second glance. And he <strong>do</strong>esn't seem the type <strong>to</strong> join in on a good<br />

old-fashioned panty raid."<br />

I grunted, rifling through the clothes. Who in the planes needed so many<br />

clothes? I've only ever had a kilt and a <strong>be</strong>lt made <strong>of</strong> bones. Toss in a s<strong>to</strong>ut<br />

pair <strong>of</strong> boots and that was enough, "Trust me, he'll <strong>do</strong> whatever I ask <strong>of</strong><br />

him." And <strong>be</strong>sides, the man had taken wounds and fought in battle for me.<br />
