Bas looks gravely at Fiera. ''There is one thing, perhaps, that can determi=

her, in Tilverton?''

Bas grits his teeth. He likes Fiera and is overjoyed to see her again, but =
he remembers that sometimes she could be a bit dense. ''It is because I say=
 it is, it is because you supposedly would stake your life upon trusting me=
, and it is because any one of my companions will tell you a tale akin to m=

''As for me, I am convinced I am the real Bas. And since I have never met a=
