Summary
“Will, do you have a moment?” It was a little startling: Tharkay's voice had spoken rather without prompting. “Am I interrupting?”
Laurence looked up from his papers. “Nothing which cannot be put aside; how may I be of service?”
Or: Tharkay has some stuff to work through, and Laurence has a specific skillset.
Standalone, though the main series (hopefully) adds context/characterization. Takes place post-League of Dragons.

Summary
To be cowardly in this, to refuse to see it through, seemed more unmanly to Laurence than beginning it.
