"Oh!" I said, "Who has informed Gun Nong of our relocation?"

"Are we relocating?" Hoo Long asked.

Lady Kismet said, "Look at the sun, factor in travel time."

"You! Urchins!" hollered Lord Xho. "Who among you knows where the Blue Boar Inn is?"

The first to raise their hand had a coin flung at it, and Lord Xho provided meager instructions. "Remember." he said. "Gun Nong, no other soldier."

We need not have hurried; the gates were practicing the new security protocols, which included a line that stretched from the gates to the foundations of the medical tents being moved that day. Soldiers being who they are, we needed to explain our reasons for priority every two or so squads.

Some were happy to let us pass, others angry, but most were simply resigned to waiting.
