Honestly, the explosion on the horizon was a relief, given the way the
council meeting had been going.
Well, all right, that wasn’t true. Morgan was a lot of things, most of them
disreputable if you listened to his brother, which no one who had any sense
should, but … Anyhow, he wasn’t foolish enough to wish the worst upon
their people as an anodyne for boredom. Not when there were plenty of less
dramatic diversions around.
Garen had scowled at him when Morgan announced that he’d be skipping
the meeting as usual. “How can Brevaer possibly let you get away with
that?” he demanded sourly. “I have to attend every council meeting even
though my mother never allows me to speak at them.”
“That’s the whole trick,” Morgan informed his best friend as he tossed his
bright-green braid over his shoulder. “I make my brother think that I am
going to speak at the council meeting, and he can’t wait to get rid of me. It’s
quite strategic of me, don’t you think?”
It was enough of a jibe to coax a reluctant smile out of Garen. “I don’t
know about strategy, but after the last time you talked there, I suppose I
can’t blame him.”
“All I said was that I would be happy to take any interested parties with
me to dive for pearls!” Morgan crossed his arms with a huff. “How was I
supposed to know half the council would interpret that as me being
inappropriate? I don’t know what our women call their personal parts—”
“You should know that; you’re twenty years old—”
“And it’s of no interest to me anyhow, because I have no interest in their
personal parts,” he pressed on. “I like actual pearls, thank you very much.
And I’m very good at finding them! Aren’t we supposed to share our unique
gifts with the clan?”
Pearl diving was the only gift of Morgan’s that his clan was interested in
for the most part. The majority of them were indifferent to the art and
sculptures he made, and his talent at making paints and pigments was useful
but not the sort of thing that would get him out of doing his daily chores.
Pearls, though … those were special, and being able to dive deep enough to
reach the oysters that made them was a challenge.
“The point is, my brother is happy enough to let me do as I please when
the council comes together, and you are jealous of my good fortune.”
Morgan patted Garen on the cheek. “My heart weeps for you! Have fun
now!” He whirled around and flounced off toward the big beach, the one
the village was closest to.
“I’m going to make you run around the island tomorrow morning with
me, see if I don’t!” Garen called after him.
Ugh. Running. Not Morgan’s idea of fun, but if it made Garen and his
brother happy, he would do some training with them just to get them off his
back.
