Posture before it dawned on me that Aahz was still speaking quietly. “Y… Yes.” I waited, but he seemed off in his own thoughts again. My nerves shot, I decided to take the initiative. “Look, Aahz. About Markie…” “Yes?” “I knew about the Elemental School thing. She told me on the way back from the Geek’s. I just didn’t know enough to realize it was important.” “I know,” Aahz sighed, not looking at me. “I hadn’t bothered to teach you about elemental magic… just like I hadn’t taught you about.
You hold on to my winnings for me? I’m not wild about the idea of walking around with that much gold on me. I can drop back by later with my bodyguards to pick it up.” “Suit yourself,” the Geek shrugged. “I can’t think of anyone at the Bazaar who would have nerve enough to jump you, with your reputation. Still, you might run into a stranger…” “Fine,” I said, heading for the door. “Then I’ll be…” “Wait a minute! Aren’t you forgetting something?” “What’s that?” “Pidge’s marker. Hang on and.
The king of dragon poker. He wants a head-to-head showdown match, and he wants it soon.” “Don’t look at me like that, Chumley.” Aahz grimaced. “I’m changing my vote. If we want to preserve Skeeve’s reputation, there’s no way he can refuse the challenge. Now I’m willing to admit it’ll be money well spent.” “My daddy can beat anybody at dragon poker,” Markie declared loyally. “Your daddy can get his brains beaten out royally,” my partner corrected gently. “I just hope we can teach him enough.
Stay behind me until I get him calmed down. Okay?” “Why would he be upset with me?” “You’re going to be a surprise to him, and he doesn’t like surprises. You see, he’s a very suspicious person and tends to think of a surprise as a part of an unknown plot against him… or me.” Markie lapsed into silence. Her blow furrowed as she stared off into nothingness, and it occurred to me that I was scaring her. “Hey, don’t worry,” I said, squeezing her hand. “Aahz will be okay once he gets over being.
Horsemen, but the Bazaar at Deva has the Great Skeeve!” Remember my partner, Aahz? I mentioned him back in Chapter One and again in Chapter Two. Most of my efforts to describe him fail to prepare people for the real thing. What I usually forget to mention to folks is that he’s from the dimension Perv. For those of you unfamiliar with dimension travel, that means he is green and scaly with a mouth big enough for any other three beings and teeth enough for a school of sharks… if shark’s teeth got.
