![]() Holo likes the idea of jumping though it in her wolf form for if they need to take the Narwhal by force, but Lawrence tells her that the glass is supporting the roof and if she did that, the roof would instantly collapse. They take a walk to the church where the Narwhal is being held captive in a large basin by a huge stain glass window. They decide to play it cool and somehow make out that they are not in enemy territory. Holo teases the boys into working out Luds true intentions and eventually they work out that they are there not only to be kept an eye on, but to be used somehow which will profit Lud greatly- in a way that would pay back their lodging expenses. Col even notes that the bed is made with cotton. Lud makes them stay at the most expensive inn they have ever stayed in- for free. They are forced to be taken to the South side of town- What Lawrence considers to be enemy territory. The next morning Lud Kieman drops them a visit at their room during breakfast. Lawrence and Reynolds chat at the table and it seems that he is fretting at being left in the dark by Eve. ![]() ![]() Reynolds comes into their room and Holo pretends to sleep. Lawrence tells her to get into bed and pretend to be asleep. Their banter comes to an end when she hears Ted Reynolds approaching from outside. They embrace by the windowsill with Lawrence wrapping his arms around her whilst she sits on his lap. This implies that she thinks of herself as a normal woman around Lawrence. She says that Col is a constant reminder to her that she is and should act like a wise wolf. They hold each others fingers on the table as a way of staying close. Their bantering reveals that as a young wolf, she once chased after a Narwhal rumor in a very ungainly and unwise manner. Holo and Lawrence drink more wine at the table while eating beans. That evening in their room, Holo makes Col drunk and he falls asleep by a bed. They play a bartering game with the salesman, a boy in training who attempts to sell their most expense twine. Lawrence takes the boy to a local clothing store and buys some proper twine for him. Lawrence notices Col attempting to sew his frayed coat together using twine from his belt. If they play their cards right they could come out on top, however they have no information to work with. Lawrence, Holo and Col play the waiting game. Eve is likely to betray anyone so as to come out on top. Eve has been put in charge of returning the Narwhal to the North again from a bloke who is not doing this for loyalty to the North, but rather for his own profit. The North could use the Narwhal to pay their debts to the South and gain overall power of both sides of the town. The fishing boat held a priceless rare Narwhal. Lawrence, still shaken up, decides that he will rely on Holo to get him out of this jam.Īs a recap the South side of Kerube captured a fishing boat belonging to the North side. In fact they are both kinda relaxed about things.Ĭol chimes in and says that if the towns' balance of power lies with the Narwhal, then surly it would be easy for Holo to eat it in her wolf form. He asks Holo and Col to pack their things and run away right here and right now, but they dont budge. Lawrence cannot pick a side to be with, and so wants out by running away. Going against his guild would be disastrous too- almost certain treason and punishment by death- probably. The letter Holo reads indicates that Lud Kieman is forcing Lawrence to obey the Rowan Trade Guild when the time comes, in other words acting on the front lines as a disposable pawn. At the beginning of this novel its made clear that he's actually quite shaken up from being forced between a rock and a hard place and he just wants to escape with his life intact. ![]() So I said at the end of the last synopsis that Lawrence was thinking of manipulating the Jean Company from another town, but this isn't quite right. ![]()
