Kaile crept downstairs to see musicians of every kind jostling for floor space and trying to tune their instruments. Luce Strumgut stood on one banister of the staircase and shouted like a barge captain in the midst of a storm. Master Nibbledy walked stately among the musicians, checked the tuning of their instruments, and gave his own solemn orders—each with a single word. He only ever spoke one single word at a time. Kaile found a window and peered outside. The world seemed calm enough. Morning sunlight glowed and glinted, and the surface of the River drifted downstream in what looked like an ordinary way. “Not sure what the fuss is all about,” she said to Shade, who stood beside her. “I don’t see any flooding. But everybody’s busy, and we’re as much in the way as a Snotfish in a kitchen. Let’s just go.” Luce said she would take us to the Reliquary, Shade whispered. Kaile tried to get Luce’s attention, but the lute-playing sailor’s attention had already split into several pieces.
