And told himself, again, that Lenpro could take care of himself and was probably following up some hot tip. That he was not, in fact, his brother's keeper, and Lenpro wouldn't thank him for this dither and fuss. And that he himself had a hot tip to investigate. He pulled the carpet bag shut and buckled the strap. All this dithering was silly, pointless, insulting to his brother, and most of all, not like himself. He shook it off. It was just a mood, and he didn't need it. He picked up his bag and glanced out the window one last time. Odd how noisy a city could be-- By all the gods, that wasn't just city noise, it was a mob! Men with clubs were standing in front of the Flower Shoppe, shaking their fists and shouting! He couldn't make out the words up here under the roof, so turned and plunged down the stairs to find out what was going on. Lady Fern met him at the bottom of the stairs. "Relax, Fandil," she said before he could speak. "This is just a rented mob, and I've dealt with them before. You have important work to do, so go and do it." "But--" "I can handle this." She raised an eyebrow. "Do you doubt me?" The young Fratsfan mage, Elosjon, came from the front room, face white and eyes staring. "They're calling for 'Fandil the Traitor' to be released to them!" he said. The look he turned on the older mage was worried. Fandil cursed mentally but allowed no sign of his annoyance to show in face or voice. "That is just what people would call me who want to stop me. It is only words, Elosjon, not truth." "Did you hear any details?" Fern asked. "Who hired the mob, for instance?" "Hired...?" The young man blinked and looked over his shoulder. "They were hired? But why?" "To make trouble, to stop me finding the magician behind the current disruptions," Fandil said. "It isn't an unusual move for a politician, you know." Could this young man be so naive? Hmm, if he'd been head down over the spell-books since he was old enough to understand them, yes, he probably could be. Was. "We'd better get going." "It's Lord Orboj," Elosjon said. "He's the richest man in Fratsfa. Nobody crosses him--if he names me a traitor, too, I'm through here!" "Well, if the city and your colleagues are so fickle and easily swayed, you might do better elsewhere anyway," Fern said. She snorted. "Orboj--he doesn't come here. I don't cater to his tastes and never will." Fandil opened his eyes wide. Fern catered to many tastes, if Orboj wanted something different, he must be strange indeed, and notably perverse. There had been a lot of coming and going of the Flower Girls while they talked, but Fandil only noticed it now because one stopped. A redhead of statuesque proportions and discretely indiscrete garb. She leaned close to Elosjon, linking an arm through his. "You won't mind going out with ME, in fact, I know you'll like it," she half-whispered. "And no one will notice if old Fandil trails along behind us." She kissed his ear. "I can hardly wait." Lady Fern laughed. "Be good, Ravishing Redbud! This--" "I am ALWAYS good," Redbud answered. Fern laughed again, and Elosjon had turned as red as the woman's hair and seemed incapable of speech or even thought; he allowed her to pull him out the back door and didn't notice Fandil following. "Take care," Fern said as Fandil passed her. "And don't worry about me here, or about Lenpro either. Ours is a family that copes, you know that." She pushed him out and shut the door behind him. * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * ---===ANDORIAN REGIONAL NEWS===--- Duelmasters ----------- DM 8 ARKERS (turn 307): CONCUSSION of CONSANGUINEOUS (Mannequin, mgr.)

The Venomous Concubine was truly rude! I hope she chokes on her own poisonous spit. Tcheni Loy SPY REPORT Oh, hi. Its just little 'ol Debby Tonte. Thought I'd check out ZORPUNT to see what's new. MVP award for SERGEANT 1? MEDAL OF HONOR J4's proud of him after beating EMBEZZLING SCRIBE and getting 14 points. Our Duelmaster has lost, folks, lost to M. CHARDINEE, BUT TCHENI LOY is still the Duelmaster because she has the most recognition points! Who was the wiseguy that said ZORPUNT's Duelmaster was paying for drinks at The Warty Toad? Don't look at me! I gotta admit I haven't been in "deep con caves" with any spies. Really, I just wing this stuff. The warriors of DISASTER must be getting lonely. They were the most avoided team. Do you guys know something that I don't? Is there some deep dark secret why MEDAL OF HONOR J4's been avoiding DISASTER so much? Or is it just that they're too scared? Like, is BUBBA LOY popular, or what? He was challenged the most in all of ZORPUNT! He's got a 10-14-0, is that good? Some fights are really unfair. How do you think BUBBA LOY feels about being challenged by PAUL WIEDORFER, 22 points above him? PAUL WIEDORFER beat BUBBA LOY. No surprise about that. Really I'm not surprised PAUL WIEDORFER would do such a scummy thing, either. See if I ever talk to SERGEANT3 again! LORMIN GARDE was so low when He challenged he. Hhmph! LORMIN GARDE is a real man! He was challenged by SERGEANT3, 19 points above, and BEAT him! Dark Arena, anyone? What does a fighter fight for? I mean, the crowds don't give a hoot if someone gets killed. Not after four more fights. Hey you guys, don't you think your families would like to hear from you? Write! (Or have someone write for you.) I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid. Who would've guessed I'd be a famous Spyreporter? I'm getting tired of writing this stuff, so I'm calling it quits. Remember you guys, ease up sometimes! Chill out!
