IV
The cupboards of the Duskbreak were bare. Warren had gone through the leftover stores the night before and tossed out everything that had spoiled in his time away, and it turned out that that was nearly everything. The stock of ale and liquor was depleted, too, but Warren knew why that was.
He was walking Pearl Lane, collecting things here and there. Already he was encumbered with partially-cooked things and dishes; Warren was only able to heat and eat, at best. Throngs of people came and went and the knight was glad to not be in his armor; Midday in the sun was not where he wanted to be.
