The dainty clip-clop-clip of delicate hooves on stone was enough to
make me twitch at each blasted little step the cervitaur made in
my direction. The director assigning me an assistant who was sleek deer
from the waist down still galled me. The Silver Stag case was the turning
point in my life, marking the moment I woke up and realized I had been
living a nightmare. And he had chosen to taunt me with it.
“Muffin?”
Arms folded across my chest, I stared at the ornate door in front of me
and grunted in Inga’s direction.
“They’re wheatgrass and coconut.” She swallowed loudly. “I—I made
them myself.”
The director, for all his come back to work or else threats, was hiding
from me.
Right.
Behind.
This.
Door.
A smile crept up on me at the confirmation he was afraid. Of little ol’
me. But it wilted at the proof he no longer had any intention of even
pretending to trust me in his immediate vicinity. Hence the locked door with
a nasty ward keyed to me and only me, which I had been poking at for the
last hour out of spite.
Odds were good he felt a teeny jolt each time I disrupted the spell.
Nothing painful, sadly, just annoying. Akin to poking him in the side for
attention each time he relaxed, ruining all hope of him focusing on his
work.
You waste my time, I waste yours.
That was my mantra for the day.
“I can take a bite first,” Inga tried again, “if you’re worried I poisoned
them.”
As she hovered around me like a carpenter bee dive-bombing anyone
who trespassed on their territory, I got a bitter taste of my own annoying
medicine.
“Until you mentioned it,” I murmured, lining up my next jab, “the
thought hadn’t occurred to me.”
“Oh.”
“Why does it matter if I eat your muffins?”
A snicker-snort told me a certain golem with the maturity of a twelveyear-old boy had overheard me.
“I m-made a b-bad impression.” Her voice grew higher, tighter. “I want
t-to make amends.”
The urge to bang my forehead against the door in front of me was
strong, but I resisted to avoid another zap from the repellent magic coating
it and pivoted to face her.
“I’m in fascination with Agent Montenegro, which I’m sure you know
now even if you didn’t last time we met.” I suppressed a growl at the
memory of her flicking her cutesy tail at Asa. “I advise you to keep your
hands, hooves, and horns to yourself if you want to keep them.”
