Chapter 485: PLUMELAAAA!!
Stryg pushed the tent flaps open and strode inside. Tauri was already pacing around, her scarlet fingers tapping at her side, as if ready to draw her spiked mace at the slightest surprise.
“Good morning,” he said carefully.
“Where have you been the last few days?”
“I’ve been around, mostly here,” he said evasively.
“Plum and I stop by your tent every few hours but you’re never here. The Shaman and War Elects don’t know where you’ve been either. Bloody Bellum, even your own honor guard loses track of you! And your mom? Pft, your mom would rather die than tell me anything about you.”
“Sorry, I’ve been busy—”
“With what? We’re about to head into war and I haven’t seen you in a single war meeting. Where were you last night?”
“I was…” Stryg shrugged and walked around her, careful to give her a wide berth. He sat atop his travel chest, the wood creaking underneath his weight, and turned to face her. He thought walking over here to sit down would give him a chance to think up a good answer. It didn’t.
“I was busy meditating with Lunae,” he admitted.
