there's what?

[ of course the jacket was stolen, that goes without saying. ]

sure he can
he just tries not to
if he does, he'll say something like "I always settle my debts" and sound all ominous
but really he means "I hate being in debt to anyone"
whereas me? i love being in debt
im so good at it

Nothing.

I've learned you're quite good at being in debt.

Are you allowed to play cards or dice outside the Crow Club?

nnnnot strictly speaking
kaz says owing other clubs is bad for business
but playing in the club attracts pigeons, so he'll turn a blind eye as long as its not on my shift

[That's right, 'pigeons.' That's what Kaz and Jesper called them.]

Do you play outside the Barrel?

[And here Wylan quietly hoped he might play closer to his financial district where he might take some money off his father's hands.]

So is nearly everything we do.

sure, but kaz won't post my bail if I get caught outside the barrel

[ that's the problem, you see... perhaps a kindly mercher's son will have to post his bail for him... ]

[Perhaps if he was even considered the son of a mercher and not a mistake, the merchling would do just that.]

Oh.

That would be a problem, then.

I could direct you to the best gambling house in the financial district.

When you want, that is.
