Tris let Keth go Without rushing she put on Chions dishes and foods, then beckoned for Chion was settled, Tris went into the courtyard and put a leash on Little Bear After leaving ith the cook about where she would be, she set out along the Street of Glass with her dog, letting him sniff and ornamen t whatever he wanted to It was better to let Keth walk his temper off now He would be in a quieter frame of mind when she reached Touchstone

She knehat he was thinking Over and over in these last four years she had seen it: adults always believed the y knew ecraft always turned the nor houses, craft shops, aric Keth s problem was not his skill It was the crazed power that was a co never formed or struck the saed it It was so killed in the process

wish Lark was here,she told Little Bear and Chientle anybody into doing anything Hed even thank her for itTris sighed entle anybody We dont have the ti an adult stuck with a teacher whos a kidWhen oat, but to Briar, the street urchins of Summersea and Briars foster-sisters, would always ive me patience, Tris prayed as she walked around the side of Touchstone Glass Yanna Healtouch, give me coolness to keep my tehtning arrows

Kethlun had stripped off his shirt, donned a leather apron, and begun to lass at the end of his blowpipe He wasn t blowing this piece He used the pipe to hold the glass as hetendrils and flipping them inward at the end Tris could see that he breathed in the slow, steady count of htning, but it was gentle, a shilass cal

If he had seen her, he didnt show it His big hands and blue eyes were steady as he pulled the glass, thrust the piece back into the furnace to heat, then worked it again Tris and Chime staye d by the door to watch, silent Little Bear retreated in boredoreen octopus, its tentacles neatly arranged to touch its head, as if it had thrown up its arave it a final examinat ion, his eyes sharp as he inspected the piece, then set it in an annealing oven on the far side of the furnace Tris knew about this step frolasslass would be even ile th an it already was

Keth scowled at Tris took you for ever to get here Why didnt you interrupt me?

Now that she wouldnt distract hi off her back, then set Chimes food and water dishes in an out-of-the-way corner The dragon began to feed Only after Chime was seen to did Tris look at Keth

Didnt want to interrupt,she replied with a shrug love to watch people ith glass And you were using thedifferent?

Keth busied hi sweat from the heat of furnace and oven, while Tris remained cool inside her cocoon of breezes With a couple of flicks of her hands she expanded her breezes until they wound through the shop, freshening the air

The breathing, it made me feel calmer,Keth admitted in his slow, careful speech just did it for practice Ilass Its the blown stuff that gets away froic? I want to try to blow a globe before the end of the day

Tris bit her lip and counted to one hundred by fives to keep fro at hiht When she was cal to draw the circle for our ic getting away,argued Kethlun waswhile I worked - I didnt need any circle We arent doingthe circle And if youre to grip your ic, youll have to let it out to work it Youll do that inside a circle until I

Anybody told you youre bossy?demanded Keth

She had heard this before She didnt like to hear it froic to be done now I have to catch a et a husband, I don t want one,she retorted sitShe pointed to a clear space at the centre of the floor To Chime she said, put

First she set her breezes free to roa inside without theht carry some of his uncontrolled power into the world to wreak a patch of havoc It was better to sweat

Outside Tris walked around the shop toin a circle Once she had, she walked the circle again, laying a stripe of pure ic as she passed When she reached the place where she had begun, she stepped inside the circle, then closed it Her ey es shut, Tris summoned her barriers toit in a perfect bubble
