The way back seemed to stretch endlessly and Haneul’s throat was starting to feel constricted with all the insults she wanted to throw Andras’ way. Bu she refrained. As she had done for the most part so far. From the looks of it, it was of no use anyway, and she preferred him taking out his anger on...

Haneul wanted to groan when Andras mentioned his cover name. Randas? Really? Subtle. Very subtle indeed. If Dum had any doubts at all, he might just put it all together even quicker now. Andras might as well have given the dealer his real name, especially after the embarrassing fiasco with the one-e...

Without batting an eyelid, Haneul ignored Andras’ venomous stares, as well as the string of colourful expressions that left his mouth shortly afterwards when he was explaining their business to Dum. She also didn’t flinch or give any noticeable reaction when Andras spat on the ground, only barely mi...

What happened next, Haneul should have expected, but sort of didn’t, much to her dismay. It had been quite a while since she’d had to deal with someone as explosive as Andras, who was clearly ruled by emotions more than anything else. She was already on the ground before his action had fully registe...

So he feared he might be recognised, Haneul mused, not quite pleased with that kind of thinking but alas, they would have to deal should that happen. That was the beauty sometimes of being an outsider. People didn’t recognise you and didn’t make connections they shouldn’t be making. Following closel...

It wasn’t without a hint of amusement that Haneul noticed the way Andras was storming away ahead of her or the way his titres crouched away, hoping to disappear in the shadows so that he would not see them and thus not ease up his temper on them. Had she struck a nerve? D’aw, she almost felt sorry f...

She listened to him almost with rapt attention, a small, only slightly mocking, smile playing around the corners of her lips. The arguments the guard developed were worth listening to, worth contemplating. From his point of view, it all fit together nicely and it indeed made sense when it was all pu...

I can always just post again and start up some action if you want?

Haneul had slowed her pace alongside the guard, wondering why this seemed to suddenly appear very important to him. What was going through that weirdly wired brain of his that made him unexpectedly talk to her in a somewhat normal fashion. His statement, slightly phrased as a question, made her smil...

She considered it. She seriously considered it. But slamming a wave of magic into Andras’ mocking face wasn’t going to be a lasting satisfaction and it would only make their so-called work relationship worse than it already was. Looking at him as he stood oh so proudly before her, she wanted to gag....

Those goons were really just too stupid for this world. Probably the only reason why they stuck with Andras. Too few brain cells to make any decisions of their own or to realise when they were being insulted. How the guard could possibly work with people like that she did not fully understand, thoug...

The longer the boys took to finally show up, the more Haneul was exercising control over the itch in her hands to just strangle Andras. At least, he didn’t talk to her. At least, he didn’t make things worse by fussing even more. He was already fidgeting so much that anymore would have meant he’d be ...

‘Oh, testy,’ Haneul thought when Andras practically threw her hand off of his arm but she didn’t comment. They were both a little rattled by the occurrence, if Andras’ renewed fidgeting and the lack of bite in his tone were anything to go by. She also didn’t comment on his aggressive statement. The...

At Shanuri’s pointed glance towards the weight hanging from her arm, Haneul thought the same. There was no way to speak privately as long as Christopher was in the way. But she couldn’t exactly just dump him either; too many people had seen them together. Her gaze flickered to the make-shift infirma...

She almost didn’t hear what Andras said, so focused was her attention on the presence of the battlemage. Whoever it was and for whatever reason they were here, they were stalling outside. Haneul wasn’t quite sure whether it was a male or a female but she didn’t much care. Battlemage meant trouble an...
