Chapter

Twelve

When the door swung open and Sylph walked in that evening carrying a large canvas bag, he was still working.

“Quinlan isn’t here yet?” Sylph guessed, poking her head into the training room.

“Nope. It’s for the best,” Damien replied, standing up from his seated position. He followed her into the main room.

“Hopefully she doesn’t show up in the middle of the night,” Sylph said, setting the bag down on her bed. She ducked down, pulling a change of clothes out from below it, then headed into the bathroom, emerging a few minutes later with the dirty clothes in her hand.

“I’m not spending all night training her, so she better not,” Damien replied. “I’m already exhausted enough. I don’t need a lack of sleep to that. What’s in the bag?”

Several sharp raps echoed through the cave as someone knocked on the door. Damien snorted and stood up, walking over to pull it open. Quinlan stood outside, wringing her hands together nervously. A small travel pack hung over her shoulder.

“We were just wondering when you’d show up,” Damien said, heading back inside and waving for her to follow.

“I got food,” Sylph said, pulling the pack open and taking out several small wheels of cheese, dried meat, and an assortment of fruit. “I thought you might not have eaten today.”

Damien’s eyes lit up. “Thank you! You’re right, I haven’t. Got caught up with practicing. It doesn’t help that every time I think of getting food, Henry suggests goats.”

He claimed some of the food for himself and started to eat. Sylph nodded to Quinlan. “You can have some as well, if you’d like.”

Quinlan shifted her weight to her back foot. “I don’t want to intrude too much.”

“It’s fine,” Sylph replied. “I wheedled it out of Dredd, so it isn’t my money. You’re not going to make very much progress studying if you’re hungry. Unless you’ve already eaten?”

“I haven’t,” Quinlan admitted reluctantly. She snagged a single grape for herself. “Thanks.”

“I won’t count this as part of the time I promised you,” Damien said, spreading some cheese on a cracker. “And Sylph is right. We aren’t going to make great progress if you don’t eat. I really should be eating more myself, but it’s just so damn easy to forget.”

Henry slipped out from his shadow, breaking off a small piece of the cheese with a tentacle and popping it into his mouth. He chewed thoughtfully for a few moments. “Tastes like goat.”

“No, it doesn’t,” Damien and Sylph said at the same time. Henry snickered and took a few pieces of fruit before retreating to Damien’s bed. Quinlan glanced between all of them, then slowly claimed a small pile of food for herself.

They finished the food off a few minutes later. As soon as the last morsel had vanished, Henry floated over to Sylph and prodded her in the shoulder. “Right, then. Let’s get to it.”

Sylph nodded and rose to her feet. “Good luck. I’ll be back later tonight. Henry and I are going to the pool to train.
