It wasn't long before Denis warmed up to Mik. The old man wasn't too surprised -- he always did have a way with the impoverished and underappreciated. A few kind words was generally all it took. That, and a few haitberries, which Mik had offered from Denis' own pouch, and Denis was quite literally eating out of his hand.

Turned out, Denis was all alone in this man's army. He was born into a farming family, a rather poor one that worked a land lease just south of Ten League. He'd come to Schel Veylin looking for a way out of his serfdom, only to end up begging on the streets before finally finding meager work as an errand boy for the Rank. That's what he was doing with this contingent. He wasn't here out of any love for the Highest. He was just tired of being hungry and homeless. So when Mik suggested that he pass as Denis' elderly uncle, the peasant was all too eager to please.

Less than an hour later, and loaded down once more with haitberries, Mik and his newfound nephew made their way back to the Rank army, now almost a league ahead of them on the highroad. So enamoured was Denis with the thought of having something resembling family, that he never questioned Mik on what he'd done with the tanto.

Thinking of the blade made Mik itch. He reached under his tunic and scratched the spot where the leather tassel, with its silver and granite ornaments, protruded from his armpit, then quickly covered the spot up again before Denis could cast another dopey, giddy look his way.
