"What do you mean, Alec?" Creighton asked, half-listening.

The man shrugged. "Just think about it.  Why does a population of a million, the largest density of serfs in the entirity of the Ashen Empire, not respond to the oppression?  They could easily over power the garrison, the noble's private forces, even the Sixth House.  But they don't."

"Maybe they can't count." Creighton replied with disinterest. It wasn't that he didn't care. In fact, he cared quite a lot. There was just a lot on his mind. "You ready to go?"

Alecos nodded, rising to his feet. "Yeah, let's make it quick."

The boy approached Nacar and crouched down. He began feeling around Nacar's blanket, looking for loose coins or food scraps, making certain to not create noise or touch the man.
