Three Kings
There was no other choice but to wait for the new guests to arrive as starting a fight now would only make either of us vulnerable to getting bit in the ass.
But while Ardeen Spellweaver's focus was turned elsewhere, I took the time to send Collin McCord an inquiring look that I hoped he understood to mean, "Did you do this?"
He gave me another almost imperceptible nod which I understood as, "Hell yeah."
In turn, I sent him my own nearly imperceptible nod of approval which I hoped he took to mean, "That's brilliant! You couldn't warn us about Ardeen's plans in time so you found another way to foil it."
He sent me one final nod as if to tell me he received my praise.
