Chapter 63: Shadows, Part 3

"He didn't mean to. He was rightfully—"

"That's no excuse to throw you into a wall!" Cemal bellowed.

"He thought I'd tricked all of you into this to kill you," Binhadi said softly. "I would not react pleasantly in his position. I also don't think he meant to do more than stop me using my shadows, and anger got the better of him. He rarely uses that particular ability. I doubt he was prepared for how it would behave with the full weight of the Oath behind it."

Cemal huffed. "We'll see. But if he doesn't apologize properly I'm going to throw him into a wall and see how he likes it."

"I don't think that will help matters," Binhadi said with the barest of smiles.

"No, but Mahzan will not be able to argue with me about it, which is such a rare occurrence, I may do it simply for the pleasure."

Binhadi laughed.
