"Good afternoon to you Miss... and to you Glass." He starts laying out thoughts of this or the other to Syl, and I stand back relaxed in the summer light as she's asking for his recommendations in that ragged smoke-and-whisky voice.
And did you need anything specific, Glass?"
I shake my head. "Only bread for home; I'll wait 'til you're done." Pause, considering how I last saw Miao. "And maybe something for a friend. I think she likes caramel; 've you any mind for what'd suit her?" Syl glances over her shoulder, nods; offer her a faint smile in return and think of the paper, and of tricks and knives.
