    Summary

    “Are these the voices of the dead?” the Islander asked, his voice rich with concern.

    “I don’t think so,” His Radancy said absently, his eyes unfocused and glowing. “There is something else going on here.” Once again he spoke in answer to the disembodied voice, and Cliopher blinked, expecting him to have been as surprised as he was. A suspicion began to bloom in the back of his mind, for twice now the second voice had mirrored his own thoughts.

    He concentrated for a moment, focusing on a single clear thought, and a moment later, the second voice spoke out again. “Are these our thoughts?

    Summary

    It took me an appalling three hours and thirteen minutes to even realize that Kip was gone.

    Ah, but that was too charitable. Once we had a timeline together, we discovered that Franzel had seen Kip last, turning in for bed at twelve minutes before midnight, and it was not until Shoänie went to wake him at dawn that anyone knew he was anything but asleep in bed. This meant that by the time the knock on my study door came, shortly past the third hour of the morning, Kip could already have been missing for more than nine hours.

    Summary

    At least there wasn’t an audience for the look Ludvic turned on Kip and the too neutral way he said, “Tor?”

    Kip could feel himself flushing - in Astandalas this was the kind of thing that had lost him jobs before - but he had the excuse of, first of all, amnesia, and second of all, “He didn’t give me any other name!” Kip hissed. “He deflected me off the topic twice!”

    Summary

    “Kip,” I said, and my voice came out tight. “Did a piece of glass hit you? Here, let me—” and I reached around to check the wound. If the glass had nicked him that was one thing, but if it had—had punctured—

    But it wasn’t a piece of glass at all. It took me a moment, my fingers meeting Kip’s, trembling and wet with blood, over the objected embedded in his side, to realize what it was.

    It was a dart.
