Sato did not want to go inside the gates of North Watch, and forcing him to do so would hardly have been hospitable. I was trying to create a particular impression here, so I met him halfway. Even though that resulted in the lot of us standing around on the road outside the gates in the dark while the girls with me and those on watch up on the walls catcalled each other.

We were kept waiting longer than I’d expected, the reason for which becoming obvious when Minifrit emerged from the fortress along with Mimi, my designated messenger. The madam had drafted the noblewoman to serve as beast of burden, but at least Mimi looked more amused than anything as she hauled one of Kasser’s khora-transporting sleds, currently piled high with fabric and leather.

“For god’s sake, Minifrit,” I protested, “I said we needed one winter coat!”

“Oh yes?” she drawled, smoke trailing from her lips. “And you wanted what? For Miriami to just grab something at random from the facilities team’s storeroom? Most of them were made with a specific person in mind, but luckily they’ve produced enough variety that we should find something serviceable. Honestly, how do you expect me to select a coat for someone without even knowing his size? I wouldn’t expect you to understand customer service, Lord Seiji, so kindly leave it to those of us who do. Now, you are the young man in question, I trust? Sato, was it?”

Sato gibbered something vaguely affirmative, struggling mightily and with limited success to keep his eyes above her collarbone. I got the feeling the poor guy wasn’t used to being around women. Fortunately, Minifrit just seemed amused, which made sense given her history.

“Hey, don’t talk to me about customer service,” I protested as she grabbed a dark gray coat from the pile and held it up against Sato’s chest, critically examining the fit. “I worked in a game shop before I came here. In Japan.”

“You know very well I don’t have the context to understand the significance of that. Hold out your left arm, please, Sato. Hm, you have a rather small frame . . . But I think several of these might work. Anyway,” she added to me while selecting three other coats from the sled, “there is a difference between running a successful business and getting fired from a succession of them because you spent all your time either snapping at customers or seething at the indignity of being consigned to such labor, which is the only way I can imagine you working behind a counter.”

“Wow, you’re really convinced you’ve got my number, huh. I’ll have you know I held down that one job for over six years, and I would have kept with it until I saved enough to move to America. I’d still be there if not for . . . events outside my control.”

“Mmhm.”

“Didn’t you tell me once that store was owned by a friend of your father’s?” Aster said innocently, the damned traitor.
