"Welcome aboard, Aren Presha," Utrid said gravely. "I pray you're a good investment."

“I am,” Pratik assured him. “What would you like me to do first?”

"When Tarr returns, I want you in his office with a drink already prepared. Attend to him, do whatever he says. Can you read?"

Pratik hesitated. He already claimed he couldn’t. Didn’t want to be changing his story mid-negotiation. “I’m sure I could learn quickly, if you taught me how.”

"No time for that." He shook his head. "Just listen, then. He talks to himself when he thinks he's alone."

"Good. Do that, then. We'll meet here weekly. Same day, same time. I'll do my part as well."

"Good." Utrid opened the door. "Go. And be careful."

“Yessir.” Pratik slid past him, keeping his face turned towards him. “Will do.”

Pratik backed away, down the hall, keeping his eyes fixed on Utrid. Had he really just gotten away? It seemed to be too good to be true. It also perplexed him.

(Alrighty! I could go to Ky and Tomhas or Gaius and Aleth. Perhaps the latter since we haven't visited them since Cecily's disappearance?)
