Haldnal, Ishaah, prepare to defend yourselves.
Snaer won't dare harm his commanding officer.
You could be correct, but what if he's been working to supplant your leadership? It's best to be prepared, Haldnal.
Snaer didn't need to smash through the vines to get up; instead, it let the human host slip right through them. And we stayed hidden behind Wispvine as the Manuari approached both Haldnal and Ishaah with suspicion. 'Commander, how many people did you kill at Feldspar Academy?'
I sighed. Haldnal, answer honestly.
'Dozens, but I butchered most of my victims on the way there. It was spectacular, was it not?'
Snaer didn't reply as it cast its gaze on Ishaah next. 'And you, how much did you steal from the Academy vaults?'
Be honest.
Ishaah laughed. 'Only as much as I could carry, Snaer, what's with all the dumb questions anyway?'
