“I am Lord Constable here,” Farland reminded the tall, laconic, slab-faced war wizard sharply.

“So you are. I’d almost managed to forget that, despite your nigh-constant minders,” Gulkanun replied. “Almost.”

And he winked.

Farland was mildly astonished to find himself on the verge of smiling. This Duth Gulkanun was … likeable. All too vocally ironic, but far less irritating than Lord Delcastle, Master of Mockery, yonder. Hrast it, he liked this man.

“Very well,” he said, turning quickly to glare at the other war wizard—the one with the curse that shapechanged his hand continually. As usual he had moved silently to stand too close. Close enough that he’d be crowding any man, not just a jailer trained to guard against such things, to keep prisoners distant, and give himself enough room to swing a mace or a sword.

This man, he did not like. Sly and sharp tongued, entirely untrustworthy in word and deed. A felon, Farland would have deemed him if meeting him for the first time and not knowing this Longclaws was a wizard of war. He’d fit right in with the noble guests in Irlingstar.

Aye, the man struck him as properly a prisoner, not any sort of respectable Crown officer. If they’d been alone, Farland would have reminded him sternly in an instant that the penalty for treason was death.

“Very well,” he repeated, advancing on the irritating Imbrult Longclaws until the man—satisfyingly, but lord constables learned to claim and count such small satisfactions—gave ground, “we’ll do it your way.”

“And trust what answer I return with?”

Farland nodded, and he managed to quell a sigh ere he echoed, “And trust whatever answer you get.”
