Day 345
Standard Year 1392
Jolie’s House of Joy
Surebleak
In which Pat Rin and Natesa pass the eve of an enterprise of surpassing danger.
I am convinced that the ambiguous moment in which Natesa shows up naked in Pat Rin’s bedroom is the primary reason for which the detail of “naked” being Surebleak slang for “unarmed” exists.
Not that it’s without layers of its own; the implications of the analogy say a lot about the conditions of life on Surebleak.
