"Oh?" says Smoke Cat, mildly interested. "There is another man with the same name as my father?" The caravan leader seems embarrassed to have spoken at all, but as it is clearly her wish, he continues. "Your father, he drank too much, and was not always fair in business, but he was not above us. This other man appeared from the north some years ago, pale as the moon and immediately got himself appointed Noble Official of the Court. He is rich and clever. And also, Lady, he is dangerous."

"I hope I do not offend you, but your skin is tanned from the sun, like mine and my men, darker than I remember your father's being, but not by so much. However, in these times status in the Central Kingdom is often shown by paleness of complexion. I have several creams and powders for sale there to disguise darker hues or lighten the skin in other ways. Your family, being medium in tone like your father, should not despise you. Only a man like the other Silver Dagger would turn you away."

"Lady, I cannot thank you enough for your clear head in saving our beasts," effused the caravan leader, "but please let me give you some advice. You say you seek relatives of your father, a spice trader called Silver Dagger. I knew him. He was not popular. Yet I have heard nothing from him for many years, so perhaps he is dead. Still, you will not impress your relations arriving dressed like that; you must have a costume proper to a fine lady of the Central Kingdom, and a parasol at least."
