Walker Ch. 01.09

'D'we have agreement?'

'Aye.' the fat man said in defeat ' There's agreement.'.

'Would you please work with Mister Cedric to set up enough light?'

Tullius looked sideways at the girl, 'At the expense of my profit and my dignity, yes.'

'Thank you, Mister Tullius.' she said in a friendly tone.

Cedric pushed his plate away suddenly 'Listen here!' he announced to the tables by the door, 'Tomorrow at lunch and dinner, there's to be three fights each. Matches go to the highest bidders! Make sure to tell everyone ye meet!'

The afternoon came and went with Cedric informing all ears of the plans for the following day. By the end of the day more than a hundred silvers had been collected. Cedric took the tax and pocketed his portion before making Walker's purse heavier. The old guard was ecstatic before seeing the pair off.
