Summary
“Are you here to help,” Red Jack called up to him on the shore, as he clambered, dripping, back onto the pier, “or just watch?”
Samothes weighed the question, and briefly considered taking offense. The transparent note of challenge in it. Presumptuous, almost rude.
Yet the grin Red Jack shot up at him bore no trace of hostility. Only a kind of open invitation. A dare. A calculation, perhaps, that the best way to draw Samothes out from behind his veil of reticence was by provoking him.
Something familiar, in that. An echo. The flash of a smile, sharp enough to draw blood, the strange relief of being mocked, laughed at by that playful, predatory being —
Samothes hesitated only a few moments more. Then he stripped to the waist, casting his robe to one side against the sandy soil of the beach, and strode down to the pier to set to work.
