I searched the shadows under the\nclosest trees for him without result.\n\nI had on my trousers, with Hyacinth's azoth in the waistband, and I got my\ntunic as well and the augur's black robe that Olivine had found in some\nforgotten closet for me: I left behind the stockings, boots, sash, and the\njeweled vest.  For a moment I considered taking back my dagger and the sword\nthat I am too weak to use, but the voice from the forrest was calling to me\nand there was no more time to waste upon inessentials.  I waded ashore and\nset off through the forrest at a trot.  I have the pen case on which I am\nwriting and the rambling account of my failure, with a few other\npossessions, because they were in the pockets of the robe.\"\n\nI've read people speculating that Horn was switched into Babbie's body at\nthis point to hide him from the inhumi.  I see the references to realizing\nwhoever was calling Babbie was calling him and to trotting.  But I also see\nhim wearing trousers, with an azoth in the waistband etc.  For Horn to be in\nBabbie's body in this passage some time must pass between the first and\nsecond paragraphs above.  I don't see that.  Also, the voice calling him\nfrom the forrest in the second paragraph would have to be someone calling\nHorn and not Babbie since in the second paragraph he is definitely in a\nhuman body.  What I don't understand is that some merging of Horn's &\nBabbie's memories has occurred but at this point I don't believe Horn is in\nBabbie's body.  Maybe Babbie's spirit is sharing Horn's body?\n\n\nNow on a different tack.  Sinew and Krait.  I am about to reread OBW and IGJ\npaying attention to any mentionings of Krait and Sinew.  I am looking for\nevidence that they are different and not one.  The thought I will be trying\nto disprove will be that Krait killed Sinew as a baby and took his place.  I\nknow in the final seedship scenes in OBW Horn mentions both Krait and Sinew\nbeing there, but I am investigating whether Horn has trouble\nremembering/wanting to remember that they are merely two different ways he\nviews one entity.\n\nOne of the reasons I am willing to consider this possibility is the"
