I've done nothing wrong
Except for all the atrocities
Except for all the atrocities
For all the bedlam unfolding, the maelstrom simmered mostly elsewhere. Melita began tracking and doubling back to spy upon the only victorious child, thus far, perched inconspicuously around a few market stalls. The kid had been skipping along, because despite the terror, they clearly wanted to keep playing. Maybe the Honeybee could get her staff ready…instead of the arrows…
Nova ’s search, while still holding her own hot chocolate, ended up with nothing at all. The kid gang from earlier ran by her, screeching and screaming about someone else searching near lampposts and rooftops, but otherwise she’d be free to continue exploring.
While Sohalia continued her bribery, and this time ended up with a nice pack of fish for her efforts, there were still no ducks to be found here either. The merchant ushered her along with a flick of his hands, and that was when it pounced –
Another small little girl. ”Excuse me miss,” because she was at least polite as she pulled at Sohalia’s shirt. ”Can I have a duck? I don’t have any.”
And then, as Dantalion searched the glints and lights of lampposts, he’d be able to see another pair – strolling arm in arm, seemingly searching without any sense of urgency. The man was leagues tall, and could see well over many others’ heads, but it was the woman who uttered something first. ”Oh dear, I think I see one of those cute little ducks!”, pointing to the snow, where yes, a little white duck blended into the surroundings.
