49 Chapter Forty-Seven

"So, tell me Aeglos, as the only one with a functioning brain in this room, do you have a plan?"

My brother pouts at me, but I ignore him, as I feel Leo resting his arm behind my back on the sofa. Aeglos just smiles weakly, saying:

"Yes, actually, I have."

I turn to Leo then, realizing that he is a little too close for comfort, but I don't let it get under my skin as I make a smug remark by raising my eyebrows as if saying: See Leo how is done, you plaaaan first, you use your braaaain first.

He just smirks again, a mischievous glint in his eyes, probably thinking how to get back at me for it. I gave back one of my own then, saying with my eyes: Didn't like it? And what are you going to do about it?

Our mute conversation was interrupted by Aeglos, who gave a dry cough to get our attention back to the task at hand.
