Wren Journeymage (2010)
“Wren tried not to stagger, as exhaustion weighted her limbs. “Here, you young’uns. You come along o’me. This inn is only known to some of us. Cheap, good food, and no nosy questions.”
Somehow Wren found enough energy to trudge after Patka up a narrow alleyway. She was vaguely aware of weather-beaten houses with sharply slanting tile roofs that gleamed with reddish highlights in the lamp light.
She fell into bed without undressing, sleeping until a somber Patka shook her awake the next m...orning. “Wren, wake up! The Admiral wants to question us.”
Head throbbing, limbs heavy, she plodded after the others to the room where the Admiral and several high officials waited. She nodded through the others’ account of everything that had happened since the day they were boomed in Fil Gaen until they sat in the gig with empty bellies, running from pirates.
Lambin and Thad did most of the talking, and when the Admiral dismissed them, Wren had just enough energy to trudge back to the room she shared with Patka and fall back into bed.MoreLess
