Despite his best efforts, Levanto had not been able to discover where Piosenniel had gone. His searches of yesterday and today had turned up no results. He had decided to take that as a good sign - that she had spent a day looking for oysters and eels and then gone back to the Star. He laid aside any thoughts that she might have done something rash, and forgone the urge to go back and check on her safe return.

Now he focused on his next task. Evening had turned toward night, and he moved up the river to the caves. Bird would meet him there and give him what report they had gleaned. He did not expect the report to take much time. They had only been there two days. What could they possibly have learned in that short time.

The Mer-man swam quickly by the docked patrol ship near midriver. He must tell Pio and Mithadan it was still there. It would prove an obstacle to the rescue.

His thoughts drifted as he swam slowly up the river. He looked forward to seeing Bird again. No need to hurry. He would not enter the caves until midnight.
