i know people like that.  good in an emergency, but they seldom expect

were they still close enough for his to contact, after a full day's ride? 
he was only chasing two ordinary bandits, he thought.

by definition, a sheltered person doesn't know what they're being sheltered 
from.  fawn knows that there are some things people wont tell her, but 
that's like knowing that, under the pretty carpet, are several pressure 
points. no one will say that stepping on one will put spikes through your 
foot.  and maybe one that will blow you up.  so be a good girl and walk the 
straight and narrow.  eavesdropping will get her only so much information.

interesting point.
