“In
any case,” Quick Ben said with a smile, “I don’t rival gods.”
“A
wise decision.”
“But, sometimes, I beat them at their own game.”
Beauchelain studied the wizard, then slowly leaned back. “I find myself appreciating your company,
Quick Ben. I am not easily entertained,
but you have indeed proved a worthy diversion this night, and for that I thank
you.”
“You’re quite welcome.”
“My companion, Korbal Broach, alas, would like to kill you.”
“Can’t please everyone.”

Ice by Steven Erikson)
