Chapter 91: How do you throw a rock at someone reverently?
Ilya had finished eating her baguette when she finally arrived at the valley. The first thing she asked was, “Why is there a valley within the Synod campus?”
There wasn’t an answer.
Next to Tommaso, Dubbie tugged on her sleeve and leaned in with a whisper, eyes wide. “Is that her?”
Tommaso glanced between them. “She might look like an Ice Queen, but she’s actually very friendly. Come say hi!”
I mean, he’s not exactly wrong, Fabrisse thought. But I wouldn’t call her ‘friendly’. She’s just odd.
Still, with some light nudging, Dubbie eventually shuffled forward toward Ilya.
“Hi,” she said, barely above a whisper.
“Hello.”
They stared at each other and said nothing else for a good three seconds.
Dubbie inhaled sharply like she was preparing to dive into deep water. “So . . . do you, um . . . like bread?”
There was another long pause.
Ilya blinked. “As a concept, yes.”
Tommaso cleared his throat. “So . . . this valley, huh? Whatever cool thing can we do here?”
“We need to find my other rock first,” Fabrisse said.
Tommaso and Dubbie sighed.
