Auditory Hell.

Of all the things Tamazin had expected to be hard about the whole joining
the legal body business, he had not expected it to be trying to figure out
what the blazes the Provost was saying.

He'd not even been interviewed for the job, small mercies. His well
conceived strategy of nod enthusiastically and vigourously agree each time
the Provost said something might not have held up to that kind of dialogue,
but apparently it had done just fine in general. Hopefully that would
continue to be the case.

Admittedly, he'd not quite anticipated having the badge thrust into his
hand then bundled off to the tail end of nowhere. Perhaps the Provost was
onto him after all, because Seantryn Modan was full of minotaurs and
Tamazin had rapidly realised spending a day here would not so much be awful
and more would drive him to pluralised murder.

Fortunately, the Provost had been so impressed by the undead legion and
golem the 28th Tamazin had raised instead of suffering the minotaur
citizenry that he'd promoted him straight away. The desert city was far
more tolerable, and Tamazin had resigned himself to stay on the straight
and narrow at least for a little while to avoid being demoted back to
auditory hell. Perhaps that was the whole point of the exercise?

There had been some unexpected benefits though. One of the Provost's
lieutenants (bless him for translating) had mentioned there was an undead
upon the roster. That was news to Tamazin, but not unwelcome. Perhaps he'd
have some suggestions for improving his animation techniques further.
