In which Daav offers Er Thom a wager.

There are times when Daav, as he has often said, does not enjoy being Delm Korval. Alas for him, that that is not one of the necessary conditions of the post.

And he’s put his finger on the big problem that’s still to be resolved: when Er Thom and Anne discussed the question of bringing Shan to be Seen by the delm, neither of them considered that there was any question about what would happen to him afterward.
