On the train to Camelot that afternoon, Cecil paged through the last job packet Coshel had sent ahead of them, so it was waiting in Valorous’ train carriage when they got on. It was printed on paper, not on parchment like the one he’d gotten from Einsamal, although it was a cheaper stock than the one from Virtue. The paper felt strangely familiar in his hands, smelt familiar too, even though it was just fucking paper, even though it wasn’t like the Lluoedd Arfog and their compatriots had a monopoly on some special kind of paper.
