Part 15 - The plot thickens
"It's lookin' like yer's bein' well known round 'ere." Colwyn comments as a man sitting outside a shop (which judging by the giant shoe hanging above the door, is probably a cobbler's) calls out a cheery greeting to Kallana.
Kallana nods, "I lived all my life on this side of the city, at least until I became a Justicar in my sixteenth year. My mother died when I was born, and my father when I was about three or four, and I pretty much lived as a beggar on the streets after that. Everybody knows me, and I know them."
"Oh, right, poor kid done good. I's been 'earin' as 'ow that can be 'appenin'." A sage nod from the rogue, and then, "See, I were bein' the same. Livin' in the street all me life. Only I were never so lucky as you ter be took in by some bunch of bleedin' 'oly knights."
It almost sounds like a challenge, or an insult, but the rogue is grinning, and Kallana just laughs, and makes an odd hand gesture. It's probably a coincidence, but Colwyn's grin fades, and he looks away, his face turning red.
For his part, Aarnr is peering moodily at the giant shoes hanging above the doors of a number of establishments in this street, and trying to calculate how many giants have been slain in these parts.
