Only Roland can look as though he's hunkering when he's sitting on a couch.
After a moment, he looks up. "All right. They know he's been doing research. Say somebody contacted him. Away from your Cortex, mayhap. Told him that if he wants to know where the two of you are, he ought to research gunslingers. And naturally...he would."
Roland never looks away from Simon.
"The way they spun it, the two of you are murderers. He's a man who doesn't need to cross the Alliance. How better to get himself back in their good graces than by turning his children in?" Dry. Cold. "That's why the searching. Man in his position doesn't need two crazy children haunting your 'verse, exacting revenge from the ones who have done them a perceived slight."
