Sep. 4th, 2007 11:39 pmIt's not so hard to track them down once he knows what he's looking for. The trouble is that it's normal to find a lot of extremely shady characters turning up in the more populated places he frequents. But those characters don't usually have a certain wolflike bodyguard looming at the front of their minds like a vindictive thundercloud. And they don't usually carry Scrabble tiles. It would be very hard to miss a message that insulting, he thinks.
He takes the tiles one by one from the people that carry that particular taint: wolf or teeth or even Galadan in their memories. All of the tiles bear the letter 'G.' Most of the time he doesn't have to kill the messengers to get the tile. Most of the time they deserve it anyway.
Probably.
There's a subtlety, though, that he suspects the wolflord is missing. For Tam it's meant to represent a favor, not a threat. He very much doubts that Galadan will echo the sentiment.
And then there's the fact that the wolf is using this symbol, of all things, to mock him. That's the worst of it. He doesn't think about it directly; just lets the idea fuel the slow burn of fury in the back of his mind. It keeps him focused, flushing them out one by one, piecing together the message in a repetitive code.
