A reflexive grimace hits Riamh as the voice meets her ears.  She's heard 
them before; they all speak with disciplined, smooth voices, trained purely 
for deliverance.  If she didn't know any better, a chill would course her 
spine.  Needless to say, she knew better.  These--/creatures/--had always 
stirred more indignation in her than they did fear...now was certainly no 
exception.

An immediate about-face offers the Toy an unyielding glower, "What do you 
*want*, Play Thing?  Your master is *dead*.  I'd've thought you'd scamper to 
freedom, by now...I see no cesspools in Topenah for you to play in."

She had spoken too soon.  She knew Sadi could not be gone.  The play thing 
would not be visiting if Sadi were gone.

Riamh possesses a sudden, acute awareness of every weapon at her 
disposal...including which blade would most easily be reached.
