Talis didn’t have the right combination of character deficiencies to outright murder someone, much as she’d fantasized about Hankirk’s death lately. If she did, she might have saved herself the trouble and offed him back in the Tined Spoon District of Subrosa. Or let Dug finish him off back when he’d first overtaken them on The Serpent Rose.

Instead, they left the bastard alive again, albeit unarmed and without shelter, on the rain-washed island they’d moored to for the night. He was drenched only moments after they pushed him down the gangway to shore, destined for pneumonia if the mermaids didn’t get him first.

No, not murder. But her character did have deficiencies enough to take more than a slice of pleasure in leaving the man behind.

It occurred to her that they could have tied him up and carried him along in the brig. Probably would have made a bit more sense. Could be leverage later on.

She shuddered. Keep him that close? No, thank you. Better to have him well out of the way, unable to tangle himself in their knotted ’locks any longer.

Sleep finally came, once she crawled back into her bunk, and dreamed of Hankirk’s lost expression as Wind Sabre made her way back into the buoy lanes and left him behind.
