Shield And Crocus
“He felt like he’d hit himself with a dozen drainer disks.
Lucky old man, you should be dead. Then the two carry-overs from the past could be buried side by side.
Instead, he was surrounded by his friends in the basement of Douk’s coffeeshop. His bed had also become a desk, with maps and charts piled on the sheets. Selweh and Rova fussed over Wonlar like the caring couple they should be, doting on an invalid father. Douk brought dounmo tea; somehow just freshly steeped and perfectly hot ...as if he knew when Wonlar was going to awaken.
Truly a miracle-worker.
Wonlar grit his teeth and stretched out his leg. Over the course of several minutes, he moved, winced, collapsed, and then moved again until he had pulled himself up to a sitting position, propped up against a shelf with a sack of flour as his pillow. He looked down and there was a kingly meal on his lap—roasted chicken, root vegetables, and yomu-shell pasta with a red-pepper sauce.MoreLess
