Three days.
He ran the drill each morning. The weight-shift sequence, six repetitions, the hesitation gone now — the movement completed itself and he started the next one. He worked through the supply allocation. He wrote the response to the second Carian timber contact. He reviewed the coastal watch reports. He ate. He slept four hours each night and woke before the lamp needed refilling.
He did not say anything about Rethon to anyone.
On the first day he made a list of what he knew. The meetings. The timing. Teles and the Corinthian network. Arsini's note about the missed administrative sessions.
On the second day he made a list of what he did not know. The content of the meetings. Who received the letters in Corinth. What had been exchanged in return.
On the third day he looked at both lists and understood the problem.
The first list was not enough to act on.
The second list was not small enough to ignore.
He went to find Ampelos.
