QUOTE : They had been running with little rest for half the day, and Janner was glad for Leeli’s sake that Podo led them at a walk. They veered off the road and crossed the green bottomland to the trees so there would be no question that they intended to enter the Strander camp. When Podo approached, three men rushed forward, hissing and swinging daggers. Podo stood his ground and held Claxton’s pendant in the air. The Stranders stopped in their tracks a few steps away. “That’s Claxton Weaver’s pone, but you ain’t Claxton Weaver,” one of them said suspiciously. “No, I ain’t,” Podo said. “But I got his pone all the same, so if you’re wise, ye’ll let us tread on without trouble.” The three men considered this in silence.
