where peter goes edmund goes, and though she's only seen one of her brothers here, she knows that peter is out of prison now, and can't keep herself from scanning the halls of miraz's hotels and restaurants for a flash of golden hair, bright blue eyes, peter's clever hands walking a coin or a chip across his knuckles.

she doesn't enter the casinos, though. miraz has commented on that more than once, and susan smiles and says something about not particularly being good at gambling, at the edge of desperation that fills such places. they're all lies, of course.

when she walks into the room she and miraz are sharing, she's only a little surprised to find peter sitting cross-legged on the bed playing solitaire. the surprise comes from the fact that it's taken him so long, not that he's here at all.
