The spear was too long to fit nicely in the cage, and the bars certainly didnât give Masako room to manoeuvre the thing, but she had managed to pull it away from the surprised guard. The shorter man cursed and drew a long sword that hung from a simple frog by his hip as the taller man jumped back. âYou idiot! You should have known she would try something like that.â He looked to Masako. âDo you want to get us all into trouble? If you start a fight here, those market guards will be on us in no time. I donât know what they tell you âbout the Ferazi guards back in Etana, but Iâve heard enough to know not to start trouble in the middle of Seranto!â He gave an exasperated sigh. âLook, if you donât want to act all seductive thatâs fine. But will you at least drop the spear and be quiet while we try and find a buyer? Money aside, the sooner Iâm rid of you the sooner you get out of there. After that, I donât give a horseâs behind what you do just as long as you donât come following us back to Vaskaan. Alright?â
