“GET UP,” LIALL ORDERED Scarlet, his voice raw. “Get out.” Scarlet fled.

Liall watched Scarlet run, the mountain air rasping in his lungs like sand. He knew he would not see Scarlet again. If the pedlar ever chanced this road again, he would send Peysho to wave him through. Or even, he thought desperately, go down to the village myself and beg his pardon.

It was a silly thought. He knew he would do no such thing. The lad was right. Liall had abused Scarlet’s pride and dismissed his way of life as worthless. All the slights he was angry at Scarlet for sending his way, Liall had committed first.

The tribesmen dispersed, muttering among themselves, but Peysho remained. He approached the atya warily.

“Liall?” he called, as a man will call a dog who had been acting strangely of late, while keeping a sharp axe behind his back against rabies, or worse.

“Stop looking at me like the bride on her wedding night to the ogre,” Liall growled. “I am myself.” He began to sheath the dagger in his boot and halted, gazing at the blade that had frightened Scarlet so. He made a face of disgust and tossed it into a thicket of winter-bare bracken near some rocks. That was one blade he would not want to look at again.

“Ye should follow the lad down the path. Just to see him safe and all,” Peysho said.

He waved that away. “He’ll be fine.”

“Ye could’ve hurt him,” Peysho persisted. “The way ye were slashin’ at him... ye could’ve cut ‘im bad and not even know it.”

“He ran like he was healthy enough.”

“All the same,” Peysho began stubbornly, and Liall could see the burly enforcer had the matter in his teeth.

Liall scowled at him, unaccountably annoyed. What business was it of his? “You have one pretty lad to worry about, don’t take on another.”

“Here, now!” Kio sang out, and Liall knew he had offended Kio as well.

“Deva’s shrieking hell, I’ll go!” Liall snapped.

“Give me a minute to fetch my knives,” Peysho stalled.

“Stay here,” Liall ordered. “We’ve wasted enough time on this nonsense.”

Liall strode cursing toward the path to Lysia, leaving Peysho to scratch his chin and look after his chieftain worriedly.
