A DAY LATER, PORFIRIA sent a letter to Catricha at her parents’ house.

The letter read in the flowing script Porfiria used, a simple request, for Catricha to find Sion Arver and meet Porfiria by the tombs.

The way through the city was cold and damp with fresh rain as Catricha walked the path, dressed down from her elegant evening clothes to a pair of trousers and an unassuming white tunic. In daylight, there was no point in her attempting stealth in Alliance.

She was glad not to go anywhere near the Kuldettan-controlled portion of town. Vual could be there. And Ruar, almost as bad, because he refused to even write Catricha in response to her letters.

"I will solve that problem later." Catricha took a deep breath, and then knocked on the door of the small watch-house where Sion was staying. One of the watchmen who lived there let her in.

She made her way past the table of guards gambling for a few bronze coins and bits of produce. Up the stairs and to the right, she found Sion by the window. He was gazing out at the city streets.

The city itself looked bleak from this angle, given the weather. Gray clouds hung thick and low. The towers seem to spear the sky, piercing but not drawing the rain forth, though another torrent looked soon to come.

"I was wondering when I'd see you again, my lady.” Sion bowed his head. "After the party."

"Don't feel bad for what happened that night," said Catricha. "I don’t blame you."

"Do you blame Lady Paroth?" said Sion. "I heard she was the one who put you up to wearing that dress."

"I put on the dress of my own free will. I don't blame Nansoela for suggesting it."

"Lady Amburen wrote me.” Sion nodded. "She told me to wait here until you arrived."

"Here I am," said Catricha with a smile. "Do you want to stand here admiring this grim city for another few hours or do you want to go meet her?"
