Welecta laughed.  "Don't be so suspicious, my young friend!  The
Examiners are not on their way.  I just thought you should know that I
am fully aware of the skill you possess."

Stutim relaxed slightly, but not much.  Welecta looked a bit out of
shape, so that really just left Duncan, who'd left the key in an
easily-accessible pocket.  There were probably temple guards outside
the door, but they wouldn't be expecting anything.  On the other hand,
there were rumours of dark magics that the High Priests had at their
command.  He'd go along with it for now.  At least he was warm.

"I have a job for you," Welecta continued.

Stutim sighed.  He knew it would come to this.  "What do you want me to
steal, and from whom?"

"Oh, I don't want you to steal anything."  Welecta opened a small box
beside his chair and drew forth a ring adorned with a diamond that was
smaller than the Nives Diamond, but only just.  "I want you to put this on
the pillow of the Princess."

Thus victory is mine. I had been thinking about demanding that you
kiss the whatever it is we're auctioning today, as a show of recanting
your unkind remarks. But I find that I'm just not that kind of
asshole. Honor is preserved; nothing else matters now. Malenkai, you
are, as always, a worthy opponent.

As breadbox's Second, I celebrate his success.  As Malenkai's Second, I
must deplore it.

My head hurts now.  Ouch.  Last time I try this...

Hmmm.  Well, which of my many and varied opening moves shall I choose?  Should I
play "AA"?  Or "AA"?  Or "A "?  Or maybe " A"?
      A          A        AA              AA

No, I think my first instinct was correct. I will play:

          AA
          A
