CHAPTER FORTY

Plato met Sophia at the door to the House of Fourteen without a word, just flicking his tail back and forth.

“You think that little ‘I can’t talk’ thing is cute, don’t you?” she asked the lynx who refused to speak.

They walked in silence until he led her to a bar and grill where he disappeared at once.

Sophia sighed and strode into the busy restaurant to find her sister in the crowded place. Thankfully, Liv had found a booth toward the back where there weren’t many people, and they had some privacy.

“Oh good,” Liv exclaimed upon seeing her. “You haven’t been eaten by monsters who were poisoned by friends!”

Sophia accepted the hug her sister offered and dismissed the people playing pool who gave them strange looks. “You and I have the same kinds of friends, don’t we?” she asked Liv when they both took seats on opposite sides of the booth.

“I’m afraid we do.” Liv hid a smile.

“Your cat is so strange and tried to make me look like a fool earlier,” Sophia made the disclaimer right away when they sat down.

Liv nodded without missing a beat. “Good to know that he doesn’t show me any favoritism in that regard. So what are we having? The usual one of everything?”

Sophia’s stomach rumbled as if trying to reply for her. “That would be great. I woke up, rolled out of bed, and made it here.”

“Another all-nighter at the Dragon University then?” Liv asked over the menu with a pursed expression.

Sophia nodded. “Yeah, I spent the day in Wyoming followed by displacing a body of water at the Gullington so I could fix Scotland’s water problem.”

Liv lowered her menu all the way. “I thought the Scots were drowning in water. What’s their water problem?”

“I think the problem is that they have so much of it that if someone infects it, there are far-reaching effects,” Sophia answered.

“Oh.” Liv drew out the word. “You have enemies like mine. They’re crafty and rude and probably never let you have a day off.”

“Never,” Sophia agreed.

“Well, we eat and leave,” Liv stated. “Our enemies can wait until we get back to torture us with their pranks.”

“Where are we supposed to go?” Sophia asked. “To find this librarian now that the Great Library has been relocated…which I didn’t get the whereabouts of.”

Liv nodded. “Me either. I’m on a need to know basis with Plato. He’s supposed to be here fashionably late.”

“That’s weird,” Sophia said as the waitress approached to take their order. “He was right with me at the front.”

“That’s not weird,” Liv said under her breath. “What would be weird is if he didn’t disappear and reappear as if trying to scare the hell out of us every single time.”
