You have very good instincts for people." I said mildly. It was Rufus, the man who'd tipped me off. "Gods, you killed him!" came a voice from behind me. I wiped my staff off on an unstained part of his cape. On his finger he was wearing a silver ring inset with a small ruby. I went through his pockets, but all he had was a pouch of gold.
