Chapter Twenty-Four
THE OBJECT FLEW THROUGH the air, hit the wall, and then clanged to the ground, where it shattered into several sharp pieces.
Incredulous, I eyed the item. It had formerly been a mug, and if the colors and pattern were any indication, an expensive one.
Pazho called out, âDenaan, Iâve told you not to do that when the inn is open!â
A stocky man wearing a stained apron came into the room. âNo one was in here. Well, not until you came in.â
âIf this is a bad time...â Beyan started.
âNonsense, itâs a great time,â Denaan said. âWhen Iâm frustrated, it really helps relieve the tension.â
I could tell Beyan was trying to find a judicious way to get us out of here. I started to giggle. Farrah joined in. Rhyss tried to suppress a smirk.
Pazho shook his head. âThis is Denaanâs idea of testing for quality. He figures, if the dishes can be thrown around and still hold up, then theyâre worthy of being used at his inn.â
âOf course,â Denaan agreed. âI donât want to have to buy new dinnerware just because a few rowdy drunks decided to have a tussle.â
âElk logic,â Pazho said, implying those were two words that didnât belong together.
âSorry about that, though,â Denaan said. âDidnât know you were coming. If I had, Iâd have asked if you wanted to join in.â
âMaybe after dinner,â I said. Farrah and Rhyss nodded in agreement. Beyan rolled his eyes.
âDonât encourage him,â Pazho said to us. âAnd please forgive my neglectful manners. This is my mate, Denaan. Denaan, meet Allayne, Beyan, Farrah, and Rhyss. Theyâll be staying here tonight.â
âSplendid, splendid,â Denaan said, wiping his hands on his apron and enthusiastically shaking each of our hands in turn. âThereâs room enough for all of you, so you can each have a room to yourselves if you like. Any horses?â Beyan shook his head no. âThatâs easy enough, then. Just go ahead and go on upstairs, you can pick out your rooms. Dinner starts in an hour.â
âIâll see you all in an hour,â Pazho told us, turning to go.
âWait,â I said. âYou donât have to leave. Iâd be happy to stay and talk with you while we wait for dinner.â
âIâd rather you have a chance to rest,â Pazho said. âI plan on us having a long conversation later this evening. It wonât take me long to go home and come back. Denaan and I live right next door.â
With that, he left. Denaan went back into the kitchen, where we could hear him giving orders to as yet unseen staff. The rest of us trooped upstairs to pick out our rooms for the night.
