"You're crazy," Melo muttered, looking at me like I had lost my mind, but he could not hide the impressed look dancing in his violet eyes. "My brother was right. You're absolutely terrifying."
Ah, I think I should have a conversation with Thalor concerning that.Whenever was I terrifying?
"That's 'Land Mother' to you, kid," I winked. "Now, look at this drainage pipe again. If we're going to have fire-cats living here eventually, I need to design some heat-resistant flooring, if we can. I don't want them accidentally melting the nursery floor before the babies even get to crawl on it."
Now, I just have to think of how to make peace with the Caracals when they make their way to my doorstep.
Should I raise a white flag and tell them we surrender? No, that was too low. I needed a method.
If we could talk to them before they launched a full-on attack and melted the walls we were working so hard on, I might be able to strike a deal.
