<p>"A Huddle-close Yarn" is a wintry tide-me-over between seasons of <strong>The Thief</strong>. Originally published Winter 2024, I've remastered it to bring you all good tidings. Huddle close around the fire with the other never-wanted, the weather's dropping, and listen carefully to the yarn spun by Aebbe Half-hand about a certain never-do-well who used to sit right where you are - before she ungratefully ran off: Symphony, the eponymous thief herself.</p><p>The second season of The Thief is publishing right now for patrons on patreon.com/thethief, and will be available for everyone in the spring. </p><p><strong>Credits</strong></p><p>Written and produced by Michael Schofield</p><p>Performed by <a href="https://www.emilymlvo.com/">Emily Morse-Lee</a> (<a href="https://bsky.app/profile/therealgchu.bsky.social">BlueSky</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@TheRealGChu">YouTube</a>)</p><p>Music by <a href="https://patreon.com/tabletopaudio">Tabletop Audio</a> (see usage statements).</p><p><em><strong>This episode of The Thief was</strong></em><strong> produced at the time by </strong>our thegns <a href="https://open.substack.com/users/32648275-nandi-k?utm_source=mentions">Nandi K</a>, <a href="https://open.substack.com/users/165117095-amzylee?utm_source=mentions">Amzylee</a>, Trei Brundrett, Andy McLellan, Eudico, Rebekah Monson, Andy Priestner, Mike Atchley, Patrick Myers, and Cordelia Black.
