MATT: “Oh, hi! Everything all right? You had a few
bruiser types leading you in here, some of the
"crownsguard, huh?”
LAURA: Oh my gosh, there was this big trouble at
the carnival, did you go?
MATT: “I heard about that. I didn’t go in there,
but people are coming in here saying–”
LAURA: Somebody turned into a zombie and then–
MATT: “I heard that! That’s incredible!”
LAURA: Yeah! And then we’re all under
investigation because we saved them! These guards
are weird. Hey, did you see the wizard guy, the
stinky guy and the little halfling?
MATT: “Yeah, they came in not but a few minutes
before you did. They went upstairs.”
LAURA: Oh, great! They’re here!
TRAVIS: They are?
LAURA: Yeah.
TRAVIS: Good.
MATT: Meanwhile, the two of you are upstairs in
your own chambers.
LIAM: During all of that, I would have dragged you
back here, brought you upstairs. And I whip off my
ratty coat, throw it on the bed and sit down on
the ground so that I’m eye level with you, Nott.

been a good thing.
SAM: Oh, yes, very good. I know everyone else
makes fun of your smell, but I don’t smell
nothing.
LIAM: That’s what I like about you. I have been
thinking, and yesterday just furthers that
thinking, that I don’t think you and I are enough.
I had the idea that we would come here maybe and
find others that we could tag along with, or meet
up the way you and I did. But now I think that is
a terrible idea! The people we spent the day with
are lunatics. I don’t think that we can do this.
I’ve changed my mind entirely, and I think we
should go, but we can’t now because we are stuck
here for the moment.
SAM: Under sort of holding arrest or something? We
can’t leave the city.
LIAM: No.
SAM: But I was thinking about this. The people we
met down there and spent the day with: they are
lunatics, but they draw a lot of attention to
themselves, leaving us free to sort of slink back
into the shadows a little bit. It might be sort of
the perfect camouflage. No one’s going to be
