Friday night, I was going to the adult bookstore dressed as Barbie.It couldn't have been any better. Barbie had read my mind and knew which of her clo...hes to give me to wear just by the look on my face, so I was dressed exactly as I wanted to be, wearing the little nude-colored thong under the sexy black leotard with the sexiest hot pants I'd ever seen topping it all off.If there was magic in sexy clothes, as I had already discovered there was in girl's panties, then I was sure to get some. During the meal, held in the Throne Room and served by more staff than the Earl had imagined possible, conversation varied from horses to fashions to the weather to marriage customs to almost anything else anyone could think of. The tone remained light throughout and the food was typically English and superbly prepared and presented.After dinner, the Emir and his wives escorted the Earl to the entrance to his suite."I have selected Zeinab to be your companion tonight," said the Emir."You. "You drugged him."She sighed. "He needs rest, yet he wouldn't close his eyes. You coming along while he was ... talkative ... was pure coincidence. He probably won't remember telling you in the morning, but he'll feel better for it all the same, yes?" Leli..." I remembered Aedan had done something similar to Alistair back at Soldier's Peak; it seemed slipping sleeping draughts into people's drinks was common practice in Thedas, but something about it felt wrong. They should have been left to. You knew," he says as he turns toward Lane."Yes I knew."Lilly bursts in to tears, "Why didn't you tell us?" It is a family matter." Why would he kill his own brother?" Paul asks."Frank can answer part of that question. I am sure then I will fill in the blanks." Frank?"Frank reaches in his desk and pulls out a bottle of whiskey. He offers them a drink. They refuse. He opens the bottle and takes a large swig."Where do you want me to start?" From the beginning and don't leave out anything." It.
