Open Blades in the Dark

[Buras]

Buras, on his side of everything, was trying his best to listen in on what that woman had to say and his response without looking like he was trying to listen. He soon found out that it was rather hard to do that, especially while there were a bunch of horses behind him and causing a racket. All he really understood was that she didn't trust him and that he didn't care. Good, showed her what's what. Really put her in her place he did. At least he thought that's what he did. But she was the smart one, first rule of Sunberth was to trust no one. The second was to wring as many mizas out of a situation as possible. "Yeah, that's it. The Drunken Fish, no better place to get drunk and into a fight. If your... contact, wanted to meet in a place, they picked a good spot. Everyone'll be more worried about not getting a chair broken over their head then what you'll be talking about. But, uh, I'll be needing to get paid. A good lesson to learn is that nothings free around here." He was going to get paid for this, one way or another. Even if that meant stealing from them. He knew this town like the back of his hand. He'd get away, even with them on horses he would. Narrow alleys don't like horses in them, and armored men can't run that fast.
