Safilos frowned and said, "Mages make good stuff, but it's unavoidable that they leave backdoors and such..."
He was talking about human nature. In general, no one would have usually spelled it out loud before mages.
Saleen laughed instead and Safilos did not know why he laughed. Saleen then called, "Rafel!"
Rafel appeared behind Saleen and she held a green spear in her hand, thrusting at Safilos' throat. Safilos' reaction was already quick enough, but Rafel's spear was already grazing his neck when he was about to draw his sword.
A beam shot out of the tip of the spear, blasting a hole at the wall of the study room. Sunlight shone in from the hole and onto the table, right before Safilos.
The two mages were frightened and Safilos waved, telling the mages to quiet down.
