A shout from one of the wardens interrupted him. “You two! Break it up!”

Corin glanced that way, then slunk back to his cot with his wrists still close together. The warden still stared at him, suspicious. Corin shrugged and showed a sheepish grin. “I thought perhaps a member of the Guard might know how to escape this place.”

In his cell, Kellen gasped, but the warden merely laughed. “You picked the runt of the litter, but even old man Bryer here couldn’t help you. There’s no way out but up!”

He rang his sword against the metal bars of the landing gate, and the clatter that it made echoed in the narrow dungeon.

The older of the two, sharp-faced Bryer, caught the other guard a lazy backhand. “To your post,” he growled. “And you! Keep still and keep to yourself. That goes for all of you. I’ve never yet earned the lord protector’s ire, and I don’t intend to do it over such a sorry lot.”

Corin shrugged again and settled back against the wall. From the corner of his eye, he saw Kellen’s nervous expression. Corin made calming gestures, all composed, then closed his eyes to slits and, minutes later, started snoring.

It was a good snore, starting low and irregular but building over time. Soon the stone walls growled with it. Corin kept it up for five minutes, maybe ten, then cut the snores abruptly short. Silence fell across the dungeons, broken only by a relieved sigh from somewhere down the line. The pirate let the silence spin out, heartbeat after heartbeat, then he smashed it with a snnrkkrt.
