Eventually, a trawl of the butcher's shops of North Point scrapes together enough meat product to hide Dj'hân. In the process you learn that, although disgruntled about some upstart competitors, most of the local butchers aren't too worried."Dunno how they're getting livestock in past the pickets, but they can't keep it up forever. And how are they earning a living? Sure, the people love them, but when the supply runs out, they won't be so popular," is the general consensus. It seems as if ATWM started up not long after the King died, and has been handing out free cuts of meat ever since. They are getting cows and pigs from somewhere, nobody knows where.Later, Lynn presents the rotund man who hands out the meat at ATWM, one Malder by name, with a container of sausage "for the cause." Although seemingly on the verge of telling her where to go, the man's face eventually brightens and he gives the contents a quick peak."Thank you kindly, ma'am," he says with a smile. "This'll go down nice with the folks round here." He dumps it in a corner of the shop, behind the counter.[SBLOCK=Dj'hân]Dj'hân hears the door being locked up followed by several explicit appraisals of Lynn's physique and probable (and unlikely) needs and desires as regards the two men. There is the sound of a third person entering."Have we got any specials tonight?" asks the newcomer."Nah, nothing," comes the reply."Ah, well. I'll get one of them cows done then," says the newcomer. "That should see us through a couple of days maybe.""Oh, some do-gooder skirt left us some sausage," says a third voice. There is some laughter. "Huh, maybe we'll have it for supper.""Nah, didn't look too good. We'll give it to the rubes tomorrow."The three men leave the room to the sound of laughter. A door shuts, muffling any further sounds.[/sblock]</blockquote>
