agreed to coming to his home, where he held all the cards and I was unsure and

potentially vulnerable because of that.

Well, he would find out how resourceful Draconians could be. I would find a

way out of this godsforsaken place, and I would leave him in the dust. There had to

be a way out, and I would damn well find it.

Then I would never have to see the ass again. I pleated the bedcovers

restlessly at the thought.

Fortunately Vlar chose that moment to appear, and I turned my attention

upon him with some degree of relief.

The boy came in and stared at me for long moments, his lips drawn tight,

before he moved to the chair by the bed and flopped into it, his face creased in a

scowl.

I raised an eyebrow. This was different. Usually he just stood near the bed for

the yelling. He had never sat down since that first day I saw him.

I let him have his silence, and he swung his legs furiously as though venting

his feelings through motion rather than words. He had his pride, this one, almost

too much for such a small body. I understood pride and how difficult it was to move

past that sometimes. He obviously had something more on his mind today than the

usual harangue.

The leg swinging stopped, and I saw him peer at me through the fall of his

hair, out of the side of his eye.

I looked back with no expression, simply waiting.

“So you are a Draconian?”

My eyebrow rose higher. This was not what I was expecting. The tone was

angry, but the words held something more, almost curiosity. So it had come to this,

had it?

I nodded but said nothing. Silence fell, and he swung his legs again, though

the scowl was a little less pronounced than it had been.
