The Ethereal Lotus

"My name is not Clara Fallensky. It is Kyra...Waffles. I am Kyra Waffles! I keep telling you that you have the wrong person here!" protested Kyra looking at Gabby as she now sat within the carriage, beside the chubby witch with her right hand being bound to the latter.

Lauren had just got into the carriage and heard their prisoner bickering. Her eyebrows knit together in annoyance. "So how do you explain the Magil on your arm then? Be a dear and shut up, unless you want your mouth sealed off as well,Fallensky."

Lauren glared impatiently at Kyra. "Unlike Gabby here, I do not have the patience to listen to the whims of fugitives or be  kind to criminals, so for your own sake shut your mouth and be quiet!"

And then ignoring Kyra, the redhead witch turned backwards. Lauren opened a small hatch and spoke out through the small window, behind which the coachman sat.
