He’d made up his mind about Topabaw; long before their respective duties brought them into contact with each other. The day after the regents summon him, a guardsman with a forking scar across his lips presses a sheathed knife to the small of his back and takes him to Topabaw’s office.
He makes a note of the man, resolves to make sure he never holds a position in the King’s Guard again. “Well, Captain,” says Topabaw. “I’ve heard interesting things about you.”
He smiles. Bald innuendo roughly played. “I serve King Dunevon, your Grace,” he replies. “And I think we can both agree not to interfere in each other’s affairs.”

Oh, Taybur. This is not how you make friends.
