Look How You Are

"How is my robot doing? Is it being of any help?" Mirian asked.

"Yes, in fact, I recorded the last training session with the elder princess. I'll send it to you as soon as I get back into the game," Dmitry replied.

Mirian gave a small smile and, moving her arms, said, "I understand. I'd love to see it. It's been a while since I've seen a real fight from the incredible Lord of Shadows."

Dmitry, keeping a poker face, said, "You're really not going to stop calling me that, are you?"

Mirian paused, pointing two fingers at him with one eye closed. "Don't worry, I'll only call you that when we're alone."

Evina raised her hand. "But you're not alone. If you're going to do something I can't see, just say so, and I'll leave."

Mirian and Dmitry turned their heads to Evina. "We aren't going to do anything like what you're thinking, you little gremlin."
