The Tuesday Writeblr Review
âWhat's the plan? Trap Ifrit in an ice prison?â Belias sarcasm came through loud and clear.
âBetter than plastic,â Seth joked, though only Tundra got the reference.
âGot it in one,â Tundra replied, enjoying the look of surprise this elicited. âIf we can isolate him from the rest of his army, we can take him out without smart asses jumping in.â He looked at Seth as he said the last part.
âSomeone's pissed I took him out,â Seth replied, making a cutting gesture at his throat.
Seth laughed, âSomeone should around here.â
Tundra glanced at Nyima, who was in conversation with the two Goddesses. âWho's to say I haven't?â he replied to Seth, looking smug.
âYou won't ever again if you keep talking about her like that.â Date was glaring at Tundra when he turned around.
âIt's harmless,â he excused, shrugging.
âIf it were harmless, you wouldn't check to see if Nyima could hear.â
Caught out, Tundra had to admit he'd been bragging for stupid reasons. âWhat are you doing here, anyway?â
âSomeone broke into the War Room and stole Nyima's drawings,â he replied, voice a little louder than usual.
âWhat is this?â Myto strode over, with Adnu and Nyima bringing up the rear. âWe have a spy?â
Date bowed and made to speak.
âTry not to announce it to the whole city,â Tundra said, cutting him off before he could kowtow. âSomeone stole your chicken scratch,â he added to Nyima, trying to keep a straight face.
âYrdan?â Seth suggested. He jerked his thumb at the sparring groups.
âWhy not accuse the King of the dzoavits?â Adnu said, raising an eyebrow.
âIf I wanted to kill you all, I'd just poison your stew,â Belias snapped, folding his lower arms and gesturing with the upper. âI've had plenty of opportunity. I wouldn't stoop to stealing sketches.â
âThey are every plan we've had,â Nyima pointed out. The groups nearest slowed their efforts, visible in their eavesdropping. âWe should continue this inside. Someone collect the others.â
