Anna covered her confusion with a sip of the wine. Menares and Behlem were using the others’ questions to sell Anna. Why? She especially needed to watch the older man, she felt.

Menares didn’t feel untrustworthy, but he didn’t feel trustworthy, either. He also knew too much.

Behlem was totally untrustworthy, and he’d do away with her as soon as he didn’t need her. So she needed to remain indispensible. What a miserable situation—the worst of university politics combined with magic and medieval court intrigue.

“I suppose she’ll use her sorcery from a safe redoubt while we take the arrows?” asked Nitron.

“At the Sand Pass, she was as exposed as any arms-man,” Behlem said mildly. “Sorcery doesn’t work unless the sorcerer’s voice can be heard. Except in the mist worlds,” he added with a disarming laugh.

“That works out both ways there,” Anna added. “Our weapons can destroy whole cities, so nowhere is safe in a war.”

“Barbaric…“ said Hanfor under his breath.

All war seemed barbaric to Anna, and arguing about which way of killing was more or less civilized was an academic exercise. She took another sip of wine.

“How soon will the Ebrans advance?” asked Delor.

“Not until they are at full strength, and that will be several weeks yet,” said Menares.

“We should attack sooner.”

“Good advice,” said Behiem wryly, “except that we’re not up to strength yet, and their forces are closer than ours. We also need to get more support from the local lords.”

“Ha! You’ve got a fat goose’s chance of escaping that fire.”
