Dusk ruffled his feathers, the only noise in the now still tavern. Zebron, likewise, shifted uneasily, on the slim chance his guess was wrong. The lad had tracked them this far, but also knew of Jaq Spayde's gift. The former attested to his skill, the latter to his heart. The boy did not want revenge, but justice. Zebron knew the difference. He hoped this human knew it as well. Dusk looked at Zebron, his eyes wide. Zebron nodded almost imperceptably. He had notified the local law, or so he claimed. This was not a good development. Zebron smiled. He was certainly awake now. Either he would see a fight within the next five minutes, or reveal himself as a dark elf to this innocent boy a few hours hence. If he thought he was a murderer now, what would the future bring?
