〃We've known for a while;〃 said the other stranger; whom Pharaun didn't recognize。
At first glance; he appeared to be a nondescript moner; with the squint and small hands of a craftsman proficient at fine work。 However; the dagger tucked in his sash fairly blazed with potent enchantments; as did an object concealed within his jerkin。 Evidently he'd layered one disnotguise on another。
〃Well;〃 said Ryld; 〃you took your time contacting us。 I guess that's unnotderstandable。〃
〃I think so;〃 said Houndaer as he and his rade advanced。 A goblin moaned; and the noble kicked the creature silent。 〃Why were you seeknoting us?〃
〃It's our understanding;〃 said Pharaun; stepping from behind the bar; 〃that you offer a haven for males who find existence under the thumbs of their female relatives uncongenial and who; for whatever reason; aspire neither to the Academy; a merchant clan; nor Bregan D'aerthe。 If so; then we wish to join your pany。〃
〃But you two already did aspire to the Academy;〃 the aristocrat said。 〃You rose to high rank there。 Some might say that gives my associates and I cause for concern。〃
The ore mask's tusked mouth perfectly copied the motions of his actual lips。 Pharaun couldn't have created a better illusion himself。 
〃You speak of the dead past;〃 Pharaun said。 〃You've no doubt heard I'm in disgrace; and Master Argith finds Melee…Magthere stale and tedious。〃 The dark powers knew; his discontented friend shouldn't have much trouble convincing them of that。 〃We require an alternative way of life。〃
Houndaer nodded and replied; 〃I'm glad to hear it; but what assurances can you give that you aren't an agent the matrons sent to find us?〃
Pharaun grinned。 〃My solemn oath?〃
Everyone chuckled; even Ryld and the boy with the dagger; who were both quietly; thoughtfully watching their more loquacious panions palaver。
〃Seriously;〃 the wizard continued; 〃if our escapade in the Bazaar failed to convince you of our bona fides; I have no idea what other persuasion we can offer。 But it didn't fail; did it? Otherwise; you wouldn't be here。 So unless you perceive something in our manner that screams spy 。 。 。〃
The faux moner smiled。 〃You're right。〃 He turned to Houndaer and added; 〃They smell all right to me; and if they're not; I doubt a little quizzing in this stinking goblin hole will prove otherwise。 Let's get them home before some servant of the clergy es sniffing for them and finds us。 Either way; it'll all get sorted out in the end。〃
For a moment; as the power of Pharaun's silver ring wavered; the drow's mild; civilized tone became an ore's growl。 He even smelled like a dirty undercreature。
The Tuin'Tarl's mouth tightened。 Pharaun suspected he didn't much like taking advice from anyone; his panion included。
〃I'm just being careful…as should you…but you may have a point。〃 He turned back to the masters and said; 〃If we take you to our stronghold; there's no going back。 You'll aid our cause or die。〃
Pharaun grinned。 〃Well spoken; and quite in the spirit of a thousand thousand conspiracies before you。 Whisk us away。〃
〃Gladly;〃 the noble said with a mean little smile of his own; 〃as soon as the two of you surrender your weapons and that cloak of pockets。〃
The wizard crooked an eyebrow and said; 〃I thought you'd decided to trust us。〃
〃It's time for you to show a little trust;〃 Houndaer replied。
Pharaun surrendered his piwafwi; hand crossbow; and dagger。 He was a little worried about Ryld's willingness to do the same。 He could easily imagine the warrior deciding that; in preference to entering the dragon's cave unarmed; he'd subdue Houndaer and his panion
