Chapter 171: Bee-morse and Gratitude
Belissar watched with his Tower sight as Metsaitti spoke to the man leaning against the wall. The third surviving soldier had finally come to and grown cognizant enough to speak, so Metsaitti was now interrogating him with Sehfitis’s help. Belissar didn’t actually have anything he wanted to ask the guy himself, having heard what he wanted from Sehfitis and Hirkolos, but Chief Rohsuak had come up with a good idea. They were having Sehfitis translate for Metsaitti while Belissar was watching in from afar. That way, Belissar could catch any mistranslations, and they could determine how reliable Sehfitis was.
Well, in the end, the third soldier was also just a recruit like Hirkolos, and not particularly cooperative, so they didn’t learn much of note. Sehfitis’s translations were accurate enough, though with how little the soldier spoke that wasn’t saying much. According to Chief Rohsuak, they’d have to keep an eye on him.
Ultimately, though, it was Hirkolos who acted differently.
Belissar made his way over to the prison…or human house, since Sehfitis and Hirkolos were only kind of prisoners? The place the humans, other than himself, stayed. Hirkolos was waiting for him.
“Hi, I heard you have a request for me?”
Hirkolos nodded.
“Yes, if you are willing to consider something from me.”
Belissar raised an eyebrow.
“Of course I am, I said that, right?”
