Chapter Thirty
I was pretty torn up after the docs operated on me to get the bullet out, but I was going to live. The biggest downside to being shot, is that hospitals don't serve booze. I mean, there's that threat of death thing, too. But you can deal with that, if you have enough bourbon.
Lilly was kind enough to let me stay at her place while I recovered, in exchange for some lessons in sorcery. I agreed to teach her how to bend a thread here and there without being so noisy as to catch the Guild's attention. I figure, the more of us on the outside, the less power the Guild has over the rest.
Lilly picked me up from the hospital when the docs gave me my walking papers. I went to Murphy's Tavern with her that afternoon, and sat at the end of the bar, nursing a Woodford Reserve.
