The Good Doctor's Tales Folio Nine - Plot & Excerpts
On the other hand, this little experiment involved the senior Crows as well as the Arms, and it was a good test of the Cause and the Arm-Crow alliance. Guru Arpeggio had been willing to meet Keaton in person, but only on neutral territory, for which my place counted. If one senior Crow could do it, and spread the information around that it was both safe and possible, others could follow. To save us time and effort, Keaton also did our March 1st meeting here. I not only detailed my ongoing recruiting efforts, but the gory details of arranging the Arpeggio and Keaton meeting. As this was another test of my alliance with the Crows, I was willing to do nearly anything the circumstances required. Even to the point of tolerating Keaton doing the ‘boss Arm’ routine in my own territory. I only wished Gilgamesh were here. I only wished my nerves would quiet down – Keaton had warned me to expect surprises. Hephaestus stood at my side, exactly eleven feet away from Keaton. As Hephaestus put it, accidental sick-up insurance. We were in the living room of my house, spare, elegant, and immaculate. The chairs were comfortable and inviting, but no one was sitting. It was night, and the lights were set to a reassuring dimness, bathing the room in a low yellow glow. None of my other people attended.
