Malkai said nothing to Jarvis' rebuttal. Sounded like the dwarf wanted pity, but Malkai had none to be had. Talking about things from the past is bad luck. Especially if that thing is about bad luck. Jarvis went to retire early for the night, so Malkai helped himself to a bowl of the stew. It wasn't bad.

Once Malkai had a bowl full he stood up and left. While he could taste a bit through his mask, he was much more comfortable eating without it. But he didn't like showing his face, even through he was still in disguise. The less they knew, the better, he figured. Once he felt he was alone Malkai called for Falchion. And after laying his mask on the ground next to him, Malkai and Falchion ate from the same bowl.
