Chapter 119: Retrieval Part 1

"A plan is good," Jace nods, rubbing his leg again, "but - uh - can we strategize in here, though?"

"It's better than out there," Clarence crosses the room.

"Who's watching out there?" I glance to the coral door at the other end of the small bunker. With the queen, the Fychu and the chancellor all bundled together in here, it could be utter chaos out there, even if they've already had a visit from their highness. But she said it herself - their restraint won't last long. I gulp, nervous at the answer. "Who's keeping order?"

"Right now Varille and Qippert are attending to them," Queen Ravan sits on the central bed, folding her hands on her lap. "I suspect it should be more reasonable for a while."

As soon as she says this, Werzo pushes through the door, scanning the room with a scowl. "Who forgot to invite me? And just thought you should know," he motions back over his shoulder, "they're starting to get rough with the administrators."

"What do you mean rough?" Sampson asks.
