Summary
When the young man walks into the storefront, Bashka grinds the stubborn impulse to pity him under his heel. In with the dirt and the blood. He looks filthy— and hungry— chin sprouting with whiskers that look like they itch, and two purses under his eyes from lack of sleep. A brace of coneys hangs from his belt, flopping bonelessly with every minute movement.
"Do you trade meat for coin?" he asks, bold. Brash. The scrap with the bailiff's son has evidently taught him nothing.
"Not from the lord's woods," Bashka scoffs. "That would be poaching."
"Then fortunately I'm no poacher."
Butcher Bashka has a simple life: kill meat, and sell it. Unfortunately, a simple life doesn't afford much these days, and an under-the-table deal with Troskowitz's newest troublemaker becomes a way to make ends meet.
