Rovigo's face registered shock"Family? Morian damn him to darkness for that!" he rasped harshly"How could he do such a thing?"
Alessan gave his small characteristic shrug"A great deal has broken down since the Tyrants came, would you not say?"
There was a silence as Rovigo fought to master his shock and rageDevin coughed nervously and broke it: "Your own family," he asked
"They know nothing of this," the merchant said, regaining his calm"Neither Alix nor any of the girls had ever seen Alessan or Catriana before tonightI met Alessan and Baerd in Tregea tiffany silver town nine years ago and we discovered in the course of a long night that we had certain dreams and certain enemies in commonThe told me something of what their purposes were, and I told them I was willing to assist in those pursuits as best I could without unduly endangering my wife or daughtersI have tried to do thatI will continue to tryIt is my hope to live long enough to be able to hear the oath Alessan offers when he drinks blue wine
