Chapter 22: FrustrationBy the time Bi reached the dwelling of Ki, his legs ached and sweat was pouring through every outlet in his body. After he had selected the Ab clothes he would take in trade for the meal, Pillar had driven him back to his sailing craft where the restored Laten and Dolo greeted him. He erred in jesting about her new name and acquired Tri clothes.
When the ground meal had been placed on the pier, Laten had merely pointed at a house in the distant field and said, “Ye'll find Ki there near the time of sundown.”
Bi flopped down at the door after pounding on it. He patted the leather bag at his side filled with six containers of Ki's favorite brew and a new bracelet before he closed his eyes.
He woke to Ki shaking him and laughing, “Bi, tis glad I am to see ye.”
