"Just kill them already."
Banjay froze.
It wasn't the words that Peter just said that legitimately scared him.
It was the casual way in which he said it, the complete lack of interest in his voice… As if the result was already decided and the most natural thing to happen now.
Still, for how scary of a request it might be, it perfectly aligned both with what Banjay wanted to do right now himself… and what he absolutely needed to do to stop the Lunagar from falling into the imperial hands.
"I guess that's how I'm going to pay for my sins," Banjay muttered, only to feel Isera's hands twitch on his back.
Then, wasting no more words on excuses or time on consideration, Banjay braced himself against the ground, entrusted his back to Isera's hands… and pulled down on both of the triggers.
