The Hooded Hood finishes the Caphan subplots and sets some new things in motion

Subj: I'm convinced I replied to part 3... Oh well, just blame it on hardware problems (today it's the turn of the air conditioning. Apparantly it is "being maintained").

> Ã¢â‚¬Å“Then we can only wait,Ã¢â‚¬Â declared Prince Kiivan. Ã¢â‚¬Å“The future of Caph Ã¢â‚¬â€œ any future of Caph Ã¢â‚¬â€œ depends on them now.

So no pressure then...

> Ã¢â‚¬Å“I am a free woman,Ã¢â‚¬Â Miiri replied to her. Ã¢â‚¬Å“I can aid whom I please.Ã¢â‚¬Â She gestured for Deeela to join her.

For no very good reason I had the St Trinians chant in my head (We do what we damn well please...")

> Ã¢â‚¬Å“You chose to be beaten to a pulp and dragged before the Caliphate Court?Ã¢â‚¬Â Miiri asked sceptically, but as she spoke her hands were checking KriijeÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s injuries and staunching her reopened wounds with the help of some ceremonial scarves.

The LL seem to have a lot of plans like that...

> Ã¢â‚¬Å“If you werenÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t stealing, why were you in the vault?Ã¢â‚¬Â wondered Deeela. It was such an unlikely combination of people in such an unlikely place. She sensed a story there.

Channeling Ziles?

>     Ã¢â‚¬Å“Your excellency, you cannot believe the word of a nomead-possessed outcast over the high priest of Raathi!Ã¢â‚¬Â protested the surprised cleric.
>
>     Ã¢â‚¬Å“Swear then,Ã¢â‚¬Â Kiivan demanded of him. Ã¢â‚¬Å“Swear by Raathi and Zaahir that you had no part in this.Ã¢â‚¬Â
>
>     The colour drained from SerooqÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s face. Ã¢â‚¬Å“IÃ¢â‚¬Â¦ IÃ¢â‚¬Â¦ My princeÃ¢â‚¬Â¦Ã¢â‚¬Â

Oh well. At least he is sincere enough not to swear falsely.

> Lartroon laughed. Ã¢â‚¬Å“Slaughter them all.Ã¢â‚¬Â

Oooh. This not be good.

As is always the case with my writing, please feel free to comment. I welcome both positive and negative criticism of my work, although I cannot promise to enjoy the negative.
