Other than the smooth stump of where her right arm used to be, Sakari appeared to be as hale and hearty as usual, and even her tattoo had been restored, something that surely would have surprised Lokus had he been able to see it.

Herbert nodded with a kind smile. "It was no trouble. I-."
"If you're done," interrupted a derisive voice, "then I'll be breaking up this little talent show."
