Chapter 6: Pay My Respects to Grace and Virtue [ AO3 ]
“I broke my arm, Jules,” Lam informed him, shrugging with his less-damaged shoulder. “I don’t know what else there is to tell.”
Oh sure, because arms were so notoriously fragile. “Did you fall or something?”
“Probably,” said Lam, to which Julian frowned. Not that he hadn’t already come to expect the most infuriating possible answer from Calamity Archman where a normal or even honest one would do, but that one hadn’t been particularly combative. He wasn’t trying to annoy Julian.
“What do you mean 'probably'?”
“I mean, it tracks,” Lam replied, painstakingly adding tiny details to his sketch.
So maybe he wasn’t trying to annoy Julian, but he certainly wasn’t trying not to, either.
