If you follow me on Facebook, you know I announced that I’m in the lead up to the final confrontation of this book. Exciting stuff. And to celebrate a snippet.
Snippet
“Talon?” Kira lifted up onto her elbows. “What are you doing here?”
The oshota broke off another piece of the galaxy lolly pop with his teeth, chewing loudly. “Finn called. Asked me to keep an eye on you.”
Kira started to nod before she stopped. Just wait a minute.
“How long were you watching?”
“From about the time you fell over the railing,” Talon admitted.
“I didn’t fall; I jumped,” Kira defended. “You didn’t at any point during the last few minutes think that I could use a hand?”
“You looked like you had everything under control.”
This was what he thought “under control” looked like?
Talon finished his galaxy lolly, stepping off the container to land with a thump a second later. “I didn’t think anyone could be more of a reckless idiot than your father, but I was wrong. Congratulation, sword. Consider me officially impressed.”
“Gee, thanks,” Kira said dryly.
“Anytime.”
The sound of Graydon calling came from the next row.
“Over here!” Kira shouted.
Talon walked over to stand beside her as Graydon and his oshota came into view. “Just so I’m tracking, how much of what just happened are we planning to keep from the emperor’s Face?”
Cue author’s evil laugh. Oh Talon, it’s like you’re encouraging bad behavior in Kira.
