“Something is gravely wrong here, for Suzanna Sun-Catcher perished yesterday.”
“Nuh-uh.”
“Yes, she did.”  He insisted.  Gryphons took all warfare seriously, even if it was waged with fashion dolls.  “My people slayed her in the Cupcake Village Massacre and you know it.”
Avalon shrugged.  “She’s a zombie.  She came back.”
Trystan gasped in outrage.
“Wait, we can have zombies?”  Midas perked up at that news.

“You’re playing dolls, Trystan?”
The gryphon flashed him a deadly look.  “It was not ‘playing.’”  He intoned.  “I was instructing the girl.  She had much to learn if she plans to lead a kingdom.”
“They’re reenacting epic battles of old.”  Gwen put in.  “It’s part of the training.  Trystan made her a doll to represent Lyrssa Highstorm, vanquished empress of his people and tyrant of the skies.”

“Midas is brilliant!” Gwen interjected, apparently furious that Miss Muffet had just insulted him. “Yes, he needs to focus more on details. And granted, he threatens violence a bit too much in order to cover his gentle heart. And okay, he can be a little trusting…”
“‘Trusting and gentle?’” Dower interjected incredulously. “Midas?” He looked at Midas. “You?”
Midas endeavored to look trusting and gentle.
