It’s probably been here for centuries -- of good, solid make and rich grain, leeched through deep with whatever foul magic took root here back when the courtyard ran slippery with the blood and shit of fresh done slaves.

The table gives an ominous creak.
“What’s that, ah...” he trails off a beat, train of thought set adrift while he flips the book open on his knee for a skim, “what’s that you have there under your arm?”
