Chapter 87: Laundry
“Could anybody?” Tulland began the process of putting on his armor. He couldn’t be too careful. “I wouldn’t want to give away my schedule.”
“If they were looking for it and standing right in your front yard, sure. Otherwise, they’d have to be a Sentry or tracking class. You should be safe,” White said.
“Except from you.”
“Except from me. Although if I turn on you, you’d know pretty fast. You might give me or Halter individually trouble. You certainly wouldn’t do much to both of us at the same time.”
“For what it’s worth, you don’t strike me as the type,” Tulland said, unsure of how else to respond to what White had just said. “So what can I do for you, White? More food? I recently got a bathtub, and I could spend some time outside if you wanted to give it a try.”
“No, it’s not that. I just got a sense you were back in town, and wanted to make sure you had made it in unscathed. Is your heavily armored friend back yet?”
“Not quite yet. And that might get complex. Did you know The Infinite is sending people back to random places now when it returns them from a level? I’m worried for her if she gets back after Halter does.”
“He won’t do anything until after I’m gone. And I won’t be leaving for the tenth until after he’s in the ninth. But after that, you’ll have problems. Real problems. And I won’t be able to help. How’s your progression coming along?”
“Not terrible. I’m making progress. If I get lucky, I can make a lot more.”
