“It was good plan, good enough to trick Flock leader.” She complained to the waves crashing against the seawall. “Look like bard had better plan, maybe Selbi help. Flock leader seem not to know so not think plan made with big elf found out.” Stooping, she picked up a rock, flinging it out to sea with a surprising amount of force for one her diminutive size.

Her anger seemed to have joined the rock in its flight past the wall and into the restless sea, leaving her tired, weighted beneath a heavy sense of disappointment. No kits now, only killing for Malcrith. The thought wasn’t entirely unpleasant though, there was coin in it and coin its own pleasures.

It was with a lighter spirit that she went back to the business of culling ogres for coin. If she imagined one or ten of them were wearing cloaks pinned with lilies before they died, well…what’s the harm?
