| 10.06 | Below them, the [Healer] steps back, puts the Lens of Manifold Sights away, and gives the Architects a thumbs-up. They stand there, looking at the young woman. At last, Loust mutters. |
| 10.44 Z (Pt. 1) | “Senior Guardsman Lens, I think. Isn’t there a report of this written down?” |
| 10.44 Z (Pt. 1) | “Watch Captain! We weren’t slacking on the job! Sometimes we did find the objects that got stolen. The thieves chucked ‘em when they realized they were no good. Dolls and small things like dried flowers or books n’ stuff. We ran it all through Senior Guardsman Lens! He probably filed it all under his name.” |
| 10.44 Z (Pt. 1) | Oh. Of course some of the Antinium had gotten their stuff back. Cossl assured Zevara that Lens had overseen the matter. She dismissed him and sagged. |
| 10.44 Z (Pt. 2) | “Senior Guardsman Lens’ reports. Seems like he really did get all the stuff back for the poor Antinium. Over sixty missing items cases—fixed.” |
| 10.44 Z (Pt. 2) | “We have—and are. I know over sixty cases were solved by Guardsman Lens. He returned items back to the Workers who were stolen from.” |
| 10.44 Z (Pt. 2) | “…I think it wouldn’t help. He’s doing what I’d do. There will always be lawbreakers. Just fewer. My main concern is the thefts themselves. He said hundreds of Antinium—and not one remembers Senior Guardsman Lens?” |
| 10.44 Z (Pt. 2) | “I wish I’d been there to go after her! Mind you, I can’t ride for anything, but Lens—you know Lens? He was moaning that you didn’t pick him! He’s got [Rider] Skills and the class, and he just got off leave!” |
| 10.44 Z (Pt. 2) | “I wish I’d been there to go after her! Mind you, I can’t ride for anything, but Lens—you know Lens? He was moaning that you didn’t pick him! He’s got [Rider] Skills and the class, and he just got off leave!” |
| 10.44 Z (Pt. 2) | “Lens. What did you just say about him?” |
| 10.44 Z (Pt. 2) | Senior Guardsman Lens, who was at the heart of her investigation without any leads…Zevara stared at him, and the Watch Captain stuttered. |
| 10.44 Z (Pt. 2) | “That’s why no Antinium ever got their stolen items back. Senior Guardsman Lens never returned them.” |
| 10.44 Z (Pt. 2) | “Wait, he’s been stealing from Antinium? Lens?” |
| 10.44 Z (Pt. 2) | “Not Lens. But it makes sense. I just talked to Merchant Yerham and Lady Cecille. Both looked me in the eye and swore they weren’t the ones stealing from Antinium…but they were the ones the Antinium described. A [Merchant] in clothing and a [Lady] with a rosewood scarf.” |
| 10.44 Z (Pt. 2) | “It just looked like her. Just like Guardsman Cossl said he handed over items to Senior Guardsman Lens—who couldn’t have been there. It’s so clever. The paperwork’s in our system, and only the Antinium would realize that no one actually got their items back.” |
| 10.44 Z (Pt. 2) | “So someone was posing as Merchant Yerham and Lady Cecille to put the blame on them. And then they also hid items that the Watch recovered by posing as Lens!” |
| 10.44 Z (Pt. 2) | “Oh, no. There was only ever one other group spotted around the Antinium, Ronss. And they overplayed their hand. It could have been anyone…except for one problem. Tell me, Relc, since you’ve been doing desk duty. Who has access to all the stamps and paperwork you’d need to file Lens’ report?” |
| 10.44 Z (Pt. 2) | But something was missing. She’d personally interrogated Moass about it, and he’d told her to her face that they hadn’t stolen everything. Antinium gave chase. Or they had to ditch the items when the Watch noticed…a lot of it had been reclaimed when the other posed as Senior Guardsman Lens, but she’d had one specific item in mind. |
| Interlude – Halfseekers (Pt. 2) | “Alright, move back, everyone. Guardswoman Jerci, check the way she came for disturbances. Is she a [Thief]? Was there a fight? Miss Selphid, can you hear me? I’m Senior Guardsman Lens. Is there a crisis? Are you hurt?” |
| Interlude – Halfseekers (Pt. 2) | Guardsman Lens swung around and barked. |
| Interlude – Halfseekers (Pt. 2) | Lens addressed the Drake, and the figure Jelaqua could dimly see, upside down, responded. |
| Interlude – Halfseekers (Pt. 2) | He pointed, and Jelaqua imagined it was bad. Someone gagged, and Lens hesitated, about to respond. Then there was a faint murmur—and someone else spoke up with a bright voice. |
| Interlude – Halfseekers (Pt. 2) | He pointed a trembling claw at the female Drake, who put her hands on her hips as Guardsman Lens groaned. |
| Interlude – Halfseekers (Pt. 2) | Lens raised his hands as Jelaqua heard more voices. She was trying to sit up now, because she really wanted to see, but she could hear well enough. |
| Interlude – Halfseekers (Pt. 2) | Two of the Watch actually spun around in the pouring rain. Senior Guardsman Lens glanced at them and covered what might have been a smile. Then he raised his claws. |
