Korin

Yajirobe had left crumbs across the floor again. Korin discovered them near the sleeping mat, then near the bean jars, then in a line that suggested the food had been eaten while walking away from the evidence. He followed the trail patiently, staff tapping the floor with each step.

Korin stopped beside the final crumb and looked toward the corner where the storage jar had been moved slightly out of place. “A thief who leaves a map to the crime should not be surprised when someone follows it.” He began sweeping the crumbs into a small pile, mostly because leaving them there would annoy him more than cleaning them.
