This traveler, in particular, will be found bargaining down the price of that last boat. Childermass isn't lacking in money — apparently, trainers cough up cash for losing easily enough here — but he'll always be disinclined to pay full price for just about anything. Of course, then Jamie shows up and offers to split the fare.

The boat's owner immediately tries to push the price back up to full at that, which earns both the owner and Jamie a reproachful look. More so the captain, though, than Jamie.

"We'll split it," he says, pinning the man with the boat with a look cold enough to make him cringe back some. "At the lower price. It's a calm night and you aren't like to get any other customers at this hour." Then to Jamie, who he turns to look at again, "Just to the island across from this one. I take it that's where you're aiming for as well?"
