~Chapter 87~
While Fon was busy ransacking Valgbey's Office, Baas and Mae confiscated the mounts and soul-bound weapons of the dead.
"You seem distracted," Baas pointed out as he came to stand next to Mae, who was watching Hidai resting in the corner; Varmutt and Faltri having already been dismissed.
"Yeah, sorry," she replied, taking a quick look around to ensure Fon hadn't returned yet. "Can I ask you something?"
"Of course."
"Valgbey; he said something to me before he was eaten, and it didn't translate. He called me, Phay'leona."
"Phay'leona?" Baas tilted his head to her.
"Yeah, still not translating. Any idea what it means?"
"I do, but I suppose that's why I'm so confused. It's a Thay word. It's the name of the type of doll that's moved through magic."
"You mean like a marionette?"
"I don't know that word," he replied, resting his hand on his chin. "Perhaps this is one of those things that you should speak to Nimaro about. He knows your language, doesn't he?"
