"What exactly do you think you're doing with Shiao Yi?! How dare you bring him here without my permission!" Dominic shouted.
Seriously? "Bring him here" makes it sound like I was kidnapped... Also, he really doesn't hold back, even when talking to someone as high-ranking as Quintus.
Still, how did he show up again at the perfect moment? Wasn't he supposed to be training in the courtyard? Maybe he really was a telepath. Or a stalker. It was starting to get a little scary.
"I've asked Shiao Yi to take on a top-secret mission," Quintus said firmly, though he did step back slightly. He glanced at Shiao Yi, seeking confirmation, then continued. "He has just agreed."
Dominic turned to Shiao Yi with a stormy expression.
