For the fourth night in a row, Trowa's stayed in a rented room at Milliways rather than going home. More pertinently, for the fourth night in a row, Trowa's continued to be in Havelock Vetinari's body rather than his own.

The situation is getting . . . kind of tiresome.

It's been just about four hours at home. Another day and a half here, and Cathy's going to have to start working harder to cover for his absence. But that's her concern, really. Trowa can't contribute much except by getting this fixed.

Pity he doesn't really have many more leads than he started out with. Not much that's useful, anyway.

(Wait a while for it to wear off, he's heard some people suggesting. It's even worked for some other people already, he's seen. It'd be great if that happened soon, but he can't afford to count on it.)

He's up in the rafters again. Listening, half-hidden in shadow, and thinking.

Duck is bouncing cheerfully through the bar when her pendant starts to feel warm.

. . . which is totally weird, because it's not glowing, not like there's a heartshard around! It just kinda feels - well, maybe her pendant's confused too.

Or maybe it's reacting to the presence of the gem of author's convenience. Who knows?

Duck looks around for a heartshard anyway. Down, around, under the table, and . . . up . . .
