Teekla rubbed her eyes and looked around. The evening was settling in
and the only source of light, besides the waning sun, was the
fireplace.
She hailed a passing barkeeper for the tavern.
“Could you provide me with some illumination.”
The norn
blinked at her, uncomprehendingly. “I don't think we carry that
stuff.”
Teekla suppressed a sigh. “I mean: Can you bring
me a lantern or candle, please?”
“Ah.” The norn looked
down at her with a scoff. “Why didn't you say so. I'll get you a
candle.”
Teekla pinched her nose as the norn left. Such a
dim race.
