“Midnight, release the last anchors and let’s be away.” Aurora called out, giving him an order that would enable the ship to take flight. It’s already proven to be more of an adventure than I expected, and that’s before we even take off.
The ship rose smoothly, and Aurora beamed with pride at her brother. He may be many irritating things, but he’s still a talented, intelligent, and caring man. Unlike so many others.Aurora aimed a venomous glance at Voltaire who noticed, but his wide, almost boyish, smile never faltered. The man has the hide of a rhinoceros, and the manners to match.
To Aurora’s annoyance, Voltaire seemed unable to sit or stand still. Instead he paced the boat, fore to aft, around in a circle, and from side to side. Tresilian seemed almost as bad. Then they’d huddle together. At least they would when Tresilian wasn’t sniffing around Midnight. Why my brother would even wastehis breath talking with that man, I’ll never know.
