Summary
“It’s not exactly a secure profession.” That was Jon, his body tense, in the way that Martin had learned to read as unhappy. “Half of all travelling players break up within a year of formation.”
“So, we’ll be in the other half.” The woman - Sasha - shot him a smile, apparently unbothered by his manner.
“The instances of violence, disease and robbery …” Jon began, with the familiar air of someone who was afflicted with knowledge and was going to make damn sure you were too; but Tim cut him off.
“Do I detect a hint of concern about me?” He gave Jon a grin which was nine parts amused, to one part genuinely touched.
Jon stared rigidly at his parchment.
“I’m simply trying to ensure that you make an informed decision.”
