Chapter

Twenty-Three

Brin led us down a street we hadn’t been to yet, no doubt knowing where we could get some food. As we walked, I decided to have a little conversation with Tip.

“Oh, Tip.”

“Anything really,” the satyr said, scanning the street ahead. I assumed it was for food. “I’m not picky.”

“Tip.”

“Yeah?” He turned to look at me and the satisfied smile on his face dropped off.

“We need to discuss how to keep your mouth shut. The way I see it, you can manage it yourself, or I can shut it for you. That second way will involve some pain. A lot of it, probably.”

He gulped. “What did I do?”

The sincere look of confusion on his face cooled my anger, at least a bit. The little fucker wasn’t trying to be an asshole. He just came by it naturally.

“Listen, Tip. A lot of what’s going on shouldn’t be talked about with others besides the three of us. They’re not strictly super-secret, but unless I bring up a subject around someone else, why don’t you assume I don’t want it talked about. Got it?”

“Sure, Gar. I’ve got it. I didn’t mean to…do whatever I did.”

“I know you didn’t mean to say something that would get you in trouble. The thing is, I don’t think you’re reliable as a decision maker on what you should or shouldn’t say. So to make it easy, don’t say anything that involves me or Brin, okay? Or about anything that happens to us when we’re all three together.”

The satyr hung his head. “Okay.”

Brin looked at the dejected expression on the horned man’s face and had to try and make him feel better. “Tip, there are very dangerous people and things we’re dealing with. The umbrenix, this Arinthalas, the situation with Gar’s arrival in this world, and the disappearance of Lucas. There are many people who would use any of that information against us.

“For example, someone might think they could gain favor from Arinthalas if they go and tell him we might be looking for him. If someone found Aeyr and told him how Gar killed some of his minions, well, that would not bode well. These things can draw the attention of people we don’t want attention from. Do you understand?”

“Yeah, I get it. I wasn’t thinking. I’ll pay more attention. I won’t let you down. You’ll see.”

“Splendid.”

I eyed Tip suspiciously, then decided I’d let him get away with it this time. “Just make sure you think. You can’t use that excuse more than once. Your loose lips could cause us to be attacked, even killed. Worse, it could make things happen that might prevent me from getting to Lucas in time. I fully intend to kill whatever and whoever is necessary to make sure my friend is safe.”

I left that veiled threat hanging in the air as Brin stopped in front of a little stand where a man with dog ears and a tail stood. I hadn’t been paying attention, but now that I noticed where we were, my eyes ran over the man and his setup with interest.
