9. Of Mice and Men
I stood silent for a moment rubbing my left ear. I could feel the slight scar on my ear lobe. It was all but invisible but it was there.
When I was younger, before I was formally recognized by my House, the Baron thought it a good idea for me to be given a more elven appearance. A very talented magewright doctor was found and with his expert ministrations, I got a new pair of ears. Whenever I feel that scar, it always reminds me that things arent always as they seem.
"Hennet, what do you mean your sister is dead?" He regarded me now, calm. "Ive met Honora, spoken to her, you mean another sister, right?"
He shook his head, then lowered it. He refused to answer anymore questions, he just went back to the crazy eyed routine.
"Dorbo, you and Bynara find some rope. Unless you and Anvil found another way out we'll go up the chute." I looked at Hennet- he looked out of it. I wondered if he was acting. "We may have to carry him."
"Time to go." I steadied Hennet-he was shaky. We danced with him for several minutes while he mumbled to himself. "The Dhakkani Dragon. Its wings its eyes its breath. Together, together, together."
Again and again and again.
He was hard to manuever and uncooperative. Even with Anvil's strength, it was slow going. We hadnt even gotten out of the room. I leaned against a wall, frustrated.
"Perhaps it would be simpler if I rendered him unconscious" Anvil proffered, annoynace registering in his voice.
Before I could answer Bynara came running back down the tunnel. "We have company."
Dorbo scampered up behind Byanra. "Oh no! The Trust! I knew it! We were ratted out! We're sunk."
Bynara shook her head, "Don't think so, I saw one through the open trapdoor. Its a human."
