Chapter 16: Say It Out Loud
Elora was brushing out her hair when Mirelle came through the door at a run, with Dacian two steps behind her.
Aurek, who had been standing at the window with his back to the room, turned around.
"She heard me," Mirelle said, breathless. "Elora. The System said it in Linnea's voice. In her mouth. Out loud."
"I believe you." Elora put down the brush. "Sit."
"I can't sit."
"Then stand, but do it slowly."
Mirelle paced the length of the rug, and the red velvet of her skirt snapped around her ankles.
"Forty times she's done it," she said. "She watched me walk straight into every one of them, and she smiled."
"She did not remember the forty," Dacian said.
"I don't care. I'm saying it's a pattern."
"It's a pattern."
"And you." She rounded on him, and her voice shook. "You tell me you sat in a chair, and I can't tell if it's a kind thing you did or a man waiting for the next round. You've had forty goes at me, Dacian. I don't know which one of them I am."
Elora looked at Aurek.
Aurek looked at the ceiling with the peaceful expression of a man who has found something interesting up there.
"I'll go," Elora said.
"You will not," said Mirelle. "You're my witness."
"To what?"
"To whatever he says."
Dacian had gone quiet.
He crossed the rug slowly and stopped in front of Mirelle, near enough that she had to tip up her chin.
"Do you want to know which one you are?" he said.
"Yes."
"You're the one who laughed before the end of my jokes. That was the first time, and it was the best joke I had, and I have told it forty times and you laughed at it every time but this one."
