"Does anyone have a knife?" I say as I look around.

"Yes, Dominus. I can fetch one from the kitchen upstairs." Jax trots up and back, presenting the knife to Kestal.

"Get me a second cup of wine, Fiach!" I whisper.

"Thanks Jax. Sorry Petronius." I cut off the tip of one of his littlest fingers, wipe the blood from the knife and hand it back to Jax. I then take out my cedar rod again, make a circle and spirit symbol.

Fiach happily goes upstairs and returns with wine. "Here, Dominus," he says. "You should make sure you don't overexert yourself. The Master won't like it if you're upset."

Felix appears, and he says, "This is much more comfortable! I do not like that other place. I do not think I could have managed to get in, even summoned, were we not so connected already."

"I'm glad to hear so." I wonder how Qadir handles it? "What did you find out about Anak Sa'ir?"

"Well, it took me some time, and I had to call in several favors to find it so quickly. I've not seen or heard of his passing over," says Felix.

I let out a long breath and release tension I didn't realize I was holding. "That is good news, thank you Haruspex. I'm sorry you had to call in favors for this. Well, my friend over there can't find him with his . . . sight either. Outside of the Revue, how could he be shielded?"
Aside to Caoimhghin "He's not dead. Not yet."

Felix asks, perplexed, "I don't know. I was a Haruspex... If you don't, why would I?"

"Well if I can't see him but he's not dead, then..." I put my cup down and slowly look up at Kestal. Then I rise and take him by the arm away from everyone. "He must be in the Necropolis."

"Well, you knew about the Revue when I didn't. I had to ask. I know you don't have all the answers but your life experience was different from mine. Thank you Haruspex. I cannot tell you how much I value your mentorship to me."

"I've heard it spoken of. What is the Necropolis?"

"I am happy to help you, Haruspex," says Felix. "I only wish I knew more in this case."

"You do more than enough Haruspex, thank you. Until we talk again." I let him go and focus on the matter at hand.
