They mount the stairs in such grim silence that someone might be forgiven for thinking there was some kind of unspoken tension in the air.




Chances are good.

Havelock counts the door numbers with the care of one used to Milliways' fluid approach to internal architecture, fingers linked absently with Puck's, then comes to a halt in front of number sixty-three. It's been a while since he last visited Nita - chronic introversion does have unfortunate side-effects in that respect - but this is at least the right place.


He glances down at Puck once more, then knocks firmly.

They had come out from Milliways in the same place as last time, but Havelock takes a different route entirely, this time, heading towards a more public area with a slowly more matching demeanor - one, that is, that's actually visible. By the time he pushes open the shop door, his stance and walk is practically arrogant, the walk of a man you don't dare ignore, and sure enough, an assistant flutters forward, dithers at the family name presented, summons a slightly older lady, and vanishes in subdued panic.

Evidently Roberta, Lady Meserole, has already left her mark on the staff of this establishment.

They are ushered through a cream coloured velvet curtain to something that more or less resembles a private lounge, where reclines Havelock's aunt, sipping champagne and chatting graciously with a person who resembles a duchess styled by one of the more upmarket Houses of Negotiable Affection.

"Ah, Havelock," says Madam brightly, waving an extravagantly bejeweled hand. "Not too late today, well done. And Master Robin, how lovely. Do come and have some champagne before we get started."

It might be immediately obvious that the hour or so that has passed in Milliways feels a considerable amount longer to the party as they open the door back into the bar. Havelock, for one, will not be complaining about the bar's lack of variety for quite a while. The assassin give a cursory glance about before entering, carrying in his arms a very thoroughly unconscious and bloodstained Nita Callahan.

Behind him, Moiraine enters, tired and pale, followed by an anxious Kit and Gavroche, attempting to hold Filif and Ronan up long enough to get inside. All look exhausted, and sharing more blood and bruising than would indicate an entirely smooth trip.

Havelock heads immediately for the infirmary, without looking to see if the others are following.
