“Yes. Yes we could be.” Sykel leaned against the wall, slipping her dagger back into her pocket, and watched casually down the corridor.

How might Lerac convince her? Will being annoying work eventually?

"Yes, indeed." Lerac pulled a flower out of seemingly nowhere. "Maybe I could use this! Contains just the right amount of truth serum."

TAAron raised his eyebrows. In a mock whisper, Lerac said, "It's actually alcohol, but don't worry about it. It can have similar effects."

Sykel darted forward, right up in Lerac’s face, dagger point against the wall right beside his neck. Her eyes gleamed dangerously. “I said stop.”

Hmm. I don’t think she’ll break, unless they were alone so Haly wouldn’t be there. Or unless Haly was going to leave with her and asked why.

Snickering, Lerac grabbed the dagger from her. It cut his hand badly, but the wound healed instantly. "Don't make this harder than it has to be," he said in a fake threatening tone, brandishing the weapon.

She threw up her hands in anger and retreated to the other wall. “Leave me alone.”

"No!" He threw the dagger at her with astonishing accuracy, practically grazing the side of her head. He then pulled out his violin, and began playing loudly and awfully.

"SO," he yelled over the noise. "WHO DO YOU NOT WANT TO TELL? ME OR HALY?"

She retrieved her dagger and paced down the hallway, away from Haly, who had not been listening at all.

He jogged after her, putting down the violin for the time being. "So it is her." His voice had returned to a much calmer, more serious tone. "So, what is it that you're keeping from your sister?"

Sykel turned on him, intensity shining from her eyes. “This is a secret.”

Sykel took a deep breath. “Basilica is in some tenuous places politically. Particularly with the kingdom next door. We need an alliance, and we need it badly.” She paused, waiting for a reaction.

The glee dropped from Lerac's face entirely. "Are you saying what I think you're saying?"

Lerac muttered something unfamiliar under his breath that sounded a lot like swearing. "You can't keep this from her. It's not right."

“I’m reducing her stress until TAAron’s better. If you tell her, I will mess with your mind in ways you didn’t know were possible.” A slight musical tone accompanied the words, conveying absolute truth with the threat.

She clenched her teeth. “No. Will you quit pestering me for half a second?”

I gotta go. Might not be on so much for a while.

Alright

"That's a cruel thing to do, you know. How old is she, seventeen? Even without TAAron involved, you're really forcing someone that young into a political marriage?" He sighed, walking back over to the rest of the group.

Tors then spoke to Wynn.

Wynn, can I trust you with some information?

Wynn shook herself into reality.

You have to promise not to tell anyone, especially Haly. Well, except Lerac and Sykel. They already know.

Sykel growled. Nineteen in two months, actually. Force her? Ridiculous. It's just a test. Cjehu is so much better at these things than I am.
