You were not kidding when you said that Mori was a straight up villain. Two seconds in the castle and he’s already pulling knives on people!

ANOTHER WONDERFUL LORD OF THE RINGS QUOTE! (Any quote with the word “vittles” in it is awesome)

LOL, I didn’t expect Hal to start acting like the responsible elder sibling XD

As soon as any character starts acting as a responsible elder sibling, they’re immediately on my list of favorite characters. XD It’s interesting to see the contrast between Halmar and Mejt.

ENYDD

I got up. My excitement at defeating my fear was turning into energy that desperately needed to be released. I began to explore the room. Thirty seconds later I was back in my original spot. It wasn’t a very big room. I sat down again. Not knowing what else to do I rummaged through my bag, sorting objects out and putting back in their constantly changing places.

A man heaved himself through the door. He had a rag to his face. He stumbled to his feet before collapsing to the ground, asleep.

I’d have to introduce myself to him later after he was traumatized by facing his worst fear. No, exhausted. Or elated at defeating it. Or maybe all three! I giggled.

I was too funny for my own good. No, I was, as Ellis put it, “the only one on Thrae with a mind sophisticated enough to understand the humor in my jokes.”

The whisper of footsteps alerted me to yet another man. Instinctively I shrank back. He was bad. No, evil. Or dark. No, all three.

He crept forward and stopped as he saw the other newcomer. He grinned maliciously and pulled out a knife.

I got to my feet. But what was I going to do? Happy him to submission?

Abirami pulled out a blow dart and aimed at the man though he did not shoot.

The worry in my chest loosened. Thank goodness he was awake.

Another man, May’s brother, stepped forward. He gently placed a firm hand on the man’s arm while putting himself in between the murder intent man and Abirami.

“Kindly put that away, both of you,” he said in a calm voice.

Neither obeyed.

My hair prickled as the tension rose.

I cleared my throat.

“Um, I think you should do what he says. I mean, I don’t know much about weapons, but I think that those can do some serious harm.” I chuckled nervously. “Please just put away those weapons. I mean, unless you want to hear my ramble. And let me tell you, I can ramble for hours.”

I sighed inwardly. I must seem like a fool. Oh well, at least things weren’t as tense. Having a random person pop up randomly and say random things usually worked well in deescalating situations.
