"Mithros's spear, what kind of cracknob picks a mage name like Farmer?"
The mage shrugged. "Most of the mages that taught me would say I acted like I had my feet in the furrows and my head in the hayloft.

He looked at us. "You're wet."
Tunstall scratched at his whiskers. "With those powers of observation, I'll wager the army and the City of the Gods were fighting over you," he said.
"Naw," Master Farmer replied with his three-cornered grin. "The army found out I don't know my left foot from my right. It's a problem."
