"Not yet..." Jano said grimly. "I have to go."
And left the tent without any other word.

"I can do better than that, if we can get passes to leave camp. My parents live in the city, and my mother's the finest Rhoynish cook you've ever tasted." Valin smiled wistfully, staring into space. "Been a bit since I made it home, so no doubt they'd make it a proper feast." "We could just leave," Tyene said, setting her broth down with a disgusted look. "Wait until dark and then sneak out. Who's going to notice us - the guards? They'll be too drunk to see their own cock when they try to piss." "Such vulgarity from a lady." Valin shook his head facetiously at the courtesan, "But you are right, it is better to ask forgiveness than permission." |

"They seem to have no idea about what people are like," she said thinking of what little she has picked up, "It is easy to have ideals and principals while you have food and mwater and the necessities aplenty, as they do here. They had best pray to their light gods that the shadow never spreads." "They do not fear us, but what they can become...the monster staring back at them." he agreed, wondering how long it would be until ample food and water made then soft like the rest. "I wonder how many here would have the stomach to survive." |

"You never can tell until they are there. The weakest sometimes survive because they are willing to do whatever they need to, and live lives of cautiousness. Complacency is a trait of the strong, in Asshai, you need both." She retorted, talking about thei homeland made her feel almost wistful, she missed her homeland the simplicity of it.

"We will not see it again." he said simply, no trace of emotion or longing. It was a fact he had resigned himself to. "Better here than Sothoryos, or that backwater Westeros."

"Such vulgarity from a lady." Valin shook his head facetiously at the courtesan, "But you are right, it is better to ask forgiveness than permission." "I am far from being a lady," Tyene replied, turning around the bowl and letting the contents slop onto the floor. "Shall we, tonight?" |

"Sounds like a plan to me. Shall we invite any of our compatriots?"

"We will not see it again." he said simply, no trace of emotion or longing. It was a fact he had resigned himself to. "Better here than Sothoryos, or that backwater Westeros." Mara knew she could see it again one more time, but it would be a short visit, likely little more than the docks, and seeing it again was not worth the price, by a long way. "Adjusting will be easy, it is what we do," she said, and looked up at the sun, it hurting her eyes with its brightness. She had still yet to see the appeal of it. "Sothoryos may not have been awful.

Tyene frowned as she thought of their fellow Irregulars, a small sneer on her lips. "Only if you don't think my company will be pleasing enough."

"Same sun, less food, and diseases not sword or arrow can help against." Raithe said, dismissively. "Though there are less people..."

"Less people almost makes it seem worth it." She replied, looking back down, her face having gained a pink tinge even from that short encounter

"Perhaps too close to Asshai for comfort though." he remarked, though with less certainty as his eyes scanned the camp. "Either way, not enough coin to forge off on our own, let alone hire a ship."

They are rather too dour a lot to bring to the home of some mummers. Well, save perhaps for Lysaela, but I haven't seen her in a bit." |

"There are plenty of rich people to kill in the west." she said, but her words held no kind of commitment. "Everywhere now is too close to Asshai for comfort for us, we have a shared death awaiting us."

"I faced death every time I went upriver into the Shadow." Raithe replied, an introspective look in his eyes. "It was a matter of when it claimed me, not if. This is no different."
