“The first thing that you will do,” the Captain says in a voice that brooks no disagreement, “is apprehend Oberon Greymane and deliver him to justice. No princess of the Watch would give up on her case halfway through the pursuit. Do you want me to die of shame?”

Oh no the nightmare is real you are getting scolded oh noooo[/quote]

+Oh, was I supposed to apprehend him?+ thought Adila with daring sweetness. +On what charge? As far as I recall he's never even set foot in the Bazaar. Out of our jurisdiction, I think - and not to mention I was never formally assigned to that case.+

Her tongue darted out to dip in the fizzing orange-flavoured beer, enjoying the way it bubbled. +Captain, I'm afraid you forever lost your chance to make this a formal Watch matter. When I kick the stuffing out of Oberon Greymane it will be [i]entirely[/i] as my own project.+

[quote]“Then... I don’t doubt you’ll want to travel. See Feloria. Or Devilhome.” Her smile is a knife, and one you’re glad isn’t at your throat. “Go off and explore Hyperborea." Which... doesn't answer the question of what she intends to do. Of course she's holding that close to her chest. Hard to ferret that out of one of the oldest members of the Watch around.[/quote]

+Honestly I have had [i]enough[/i] of travel for the time being,+ thought Adila. +The world is vast and beautiful, yes, I was silly to not want to see it - but as soon as this is done what I'm looking forwards to the most is getting my garden back into shape.+ 

It's feral back there. She'd almost thought she'd gone through the Labyrinth wrong and wound up in Feloria somehow. She's looking forwards to the work, but she's also updated her process for handling mysterious gifts of seeds from Dandy.

+But after that...+ urgh she still couldn't even begin to process. +So, how about you, Captain? Askaian beach house? Crocheting club? Going down to the House of Guests and putting it all on black?+
