Zhi's lips tightened, though only for a moment, at the mention of Oschon's Torch. She looked Tyriont up and down, and then nodded with some cheer. "I'll meet ye at th'Torch, then." Hand lifted in a casual farewell, she turned and walked away from him.
Another day, another job she would have accompanied him to his ship if only to make sure he didn't slip her grasp, but there were more reasons to be cautious in his company than not. She didn't want to be seen with him any longer than was necessary -- even if that meant walking under the blazing sun to a place out in the middle of nowhere without the solidity of buildings at her back and roads under her feet. Aie, she hated being out of the city. Always made her feel like she was going to be caught flatfooted.
Without dawdling, she wound up at the Torch with more than enough time to spare. More waiting. Hopefully it would be time well spent, but that would depend on Tyriont -- and her own ability to sell the information she had for him.
