“Gabranth, now.”
Basch nods slightly—acknowledging, not accepting, but this is hardly the time.
“How does Archades treat you?” he says instead.
“As well as can be expected,” Noah responds with a wry smile. It reminds Basch of stories of fistfights, and he wishes this were as simple. “There is some animosity, but I think I shall be honestly judged for my skill.”
Basch’s face must betray his feelings, because Noah reaches and clasps his hand. “Truly. It can be a good place.”
Basch smiles. “Then we must drink well tonight, for after this your work will absorb you.”
