The har
smiled at me. ‘Some time ago. Were you?’


I was there, yes. Forgive my intrusion, but you appeared
familiar to me. I knew a har named Haruah...’


My hostling,’ said the har. ‘What a coincidence.’


Yes... Did we not meet there? I am Gesaril.’

The har
frowned. ‘I don’t believe so. I didn’t meet many hara. I was
studying. I didn’t stay there long.’

I nodded.
‘My mistake. I felt I knew you.’


I look like my hostling. It’s most likely that.’


Most likely.’ He did not appear to want to continue the
conversation, so reluctantly I began to walk away.


I’ll convey your regards,’ he said.

I paused
again, turned. ‘To your hostling?’

He smiled
widely, revealing perfect white teeth. ‘Naturally.’


Thank you. He once advised me well.’

The har
nodded. ‘I am Lakshmi. Perhaps we will meet again.’


I would like that.’


May Nagarana shine upon your day.’

I bowed
my head. ‘Upon yours also.’

As I
walked away, a soft voice came to me in mind touch. You can curse a
har only so far as he wishes to be cursed.

I turned
again swiftly, but the bench was empty.
