It is nearing the end of the fourth hand of Se'Var. By now, Mathor will have arrived in Esalinius, which is seated in the shadows of the Black Sardar. His last correspondence was dated nine days ago. From his accounts, the first girl of the Boarding House seems to have picked up the trail she was put upon. She is a tenacious bitch, but that is not uncommon in beasts of her ilk. The word 'fetch' was imprinted on her animal brain. Presumably, she will not tear her prey to pieces upon discovering it. I cannot guarantee as much for those that might stand between her and said prey.
The production of the play has been postponed a few hands. It will not, as hoped, be performed in the month of Se'Var. The proof for the advertisement was sent to the printers. Likenesses of both Turianus and Agamedes will appear upon it. Just another expense to deplete my coffers. Fortunately, the portrait artist I employed worked for a meal and a spot of paga. 'Spot,' I should say, is relative. It was enough paga to incapacitate a kaiila. His work, despite the inebriation, was quite competent I thought. 'Phineahas of Brundisium,' I am certain, will be pleased to have his likeness posted on the public boards.
