"Muddamit, I think you're right, Luca," Qwipps exclaimed. "What is that shit stain doing here?"
He walked over to join me and Luca as we stood next to the first gate that had blocked our way to rescuing Ty.
"He's probably here to give us a headache just like when he was failing to command us," Varda joined in.
She'd moved over to Qwipps' other side, and like the rest of us, the disbelief on her face was loud and clear.
"Guys," Aura wasn't one to join in on the wisecracking but even she couldn't help herself as she joined us by the bars. "It's not nice to make fun of an idiot… they're to be pitied."
Despite the seriousness of the situation and the possibility of total failure, I really couldn't help the unbidden smirk appearing on my face. Still, I wasn't past the point where I could joke around. Not with Ty in danger so close by.
"What the hell are you doing here, Roselle?" I asked through gritted teeth.
