'We were all in Toscana for the treaty signing,' he began, then corrected himself. 'Well, Evanlyn wasn't. She came later.

And just before we left, Selethen decided to join us-what with you being an old comrade in arms and all-and...'

Will stopped, a little embarrassed as he realized that he had been running off at the mouth.
