His ears had zeroed in on the familiar voice of Linette. After Muin spoke to his ears only, Soji gave a small nod. He looked over the work and then stood. Shifting the spear in his hands to give it a firm shake, he felt the response that ran along the wooden shaft. He then turned the blade high and to the ceiling, resting the spear on his shoulder to keep the business end out of the way of the crowd. It was the only thing about bringing a long arm into a building; one had to always be mindful of where it was pointing.
He turned to Muin and gave a second, silent nod that the work was complete. Now his eyes could be seen by all. Bright blue, keen and intelligent with the tell-tale slitted pupils of a Seeker.
He was free to converse; especially as it seemed that their circle of acquaintances was about to expand to include the half-drowned pugilist in the bandages. He started toward the table with Jeris and Linette with the clear intention of joining them, though they might only arrive by the time Jeris was finishing his explanation. Miqo'te ears would hear it all.
