With only one sheet of paper remaining, Tas decided
to conclude his good-bye.
I'm running out of paper, so I have to go now. It was
really nice knowing you. I had a lot of fun with every-
one (even Raistlin, I guess), while we were all together
in Solace, Please tell Flint that I never believed him
when he called me a doorknob and that I really like
him, too.
Tas read that sentence over and decided he liked the
way it sounded. He knew he was going to have to close
soon, or he'd burst out crying, which would smear the
ink and he'd have to do it all again.
Biting the tip of his tongue in concentration, he signed
it, "Your friend, Tasslehoff Burrfoot." Choking back a
sob, he fanned the last page to hasten its drying, then
stacked the pages and folded them in half as one. On the
back of the last page he wrote "Tanis Half-Elven, Solace."
He knew that someone there would get the letter and
hold it until Tanis returned from wherever he was.
Tasslehoff was not crying because he was afraid of
dying; there was very little any kender feared. Though
they did not welcome it, they thought of death as the last
big adventure. Still, Tas hated the thought of leaving his
good friends, Tanis and Flint, forever.
Just then there came a knock at the door, which
seemed ridiculous considering that the occupants of the
room were prisoners. The wooden door swung open and
Bozdil's head appeared around it.
"Time for the kender's jar fitting!" he said merrily.
Woodrow and Winnie both snorted themselves awake
at the sound of the gnome's voice
