“By the gods,” Fiearius interjected pointedly, as though he had just noticed this conversation was even going as he turned to the group. “Is this really a discussion of TTD ships? Bit of a grim topic for the occasion, isn’t it?”

Casner was very nearly baited. He spared him a look that was polite, if slightly bored. “I happen to think ridding the span of Anti-Society scum is a worthwhile profession,” he mused. “The most worthwhile, in fact,” he finished coolly.

“Couldn’t agree more,” said Fiearius at once. “But if we’re really to talk of prison ships, why even bother with the Baltimore?” he went on dismissively. “It’s big, sure, but it only holds petty thieves and everyday trash. Doesn’t really need the crew it has as far as I’m concerned. It’s practically a giant dumpster. Needs about as much guarding as last night’s leftovers.”

Well, that certainly helped shake things up. A murmur of surprise rippled over the audience. Casner said nothing, but he gave a derisive snort as he sipped his drink and then regarded Fiearius as if he were his least-favorite servant.

“Well,” said Leta, suddenly intervening and sounding falsely affronted. “I’ve always thought very highly of the Blackbird.”

“As you should,” said Casner haughtily. To Fiearius, he said, “Don’t insult the lady.”

“Oh, never.” Fiearius smiled broadly and dipped his head to Leta.

Just kidding, insult her always

I want to go to this party. Save for the part about it being held by a murderous Society asswipe. Caelum Lex Chapter 21
