Iced On Aran (2012)
“Hero was rangy, springy of step, younger than his friend; Eldin was stocky, gangling, somehow apish in his length of arm and massive strength, and yet not unattractive. They loved each other like brothers but would deny it almost to the death, while defending each other to that same grave limit; they loved as well adventuring, girls, booze and especially their travels and travails as the Lord of Ooth-Nargai and the Skies Around Serannian’s special emissaries, agents, and troubleshooters in gene...ral—though the latter was something they’d also deny, except when they were broke and needed the work. Like now.
King Kuranes (or “Lord”; he made no special distinction, and only rarely stood on ceremony) was cooking something up for them right now, a job in far Inquanok; for which reason he kept the pair waiting in timeless Celephais on the Southern Sea while he made his various arrangements from his manor-house seat in that city. Alas, but sitting still on their backsides was something Hero and Eldin didn’t do too well; a day or two of total inactivity was normally sufficient to drive them to drink, and from that to other diversions.MoreLess
