WOO 15K!
15,011. Rawk.
Jaspa felt her teeth clench.
Don't do it, Myertek warned her, He's a little bastard but Kalishk told us to stay out of it.
But even if I didn't know about the political angle I'd stand up for him. Won't it look weirder if I don't?
She tapped Osred gently on the shoulder. "Who might that be, Osred? You talking about the Chancellor again?"
He turned to look at her, and the eyes of the half dozen students he'd been holding forth to follwed his gaze. "Why, Jaspa, no, I'm talking about your favorite member of the walking dead. Kalishk is a disgrace. I heard aboutr how the last budget meeting went, and he should be ashamed, talking to the chancellor htat way."
"Right, becaus eyou're such a shining example of how one should behave toward the Chancellor yourself. How many Collegium rules have you broken this week, Osred? You're usually breaking at least a couple ever few days or so."
"We're not talking about me," he said icily, "we're talking about your pet vampire."
Jaspa couldn't help herself. Her fist moved as if of its own accord and slammed into Osred's face, a small force shield keeping her from breaking her knuckles on his cheekbones. He dodged, but she still caught him with enough force to spin him around. The students nearby gasped, and she heard someone say "get 'im, Jaspa!" at the same time as someone else said, "Don't take that, Osred!"
Osred righted himself and brought his hands up. They each backed up a little and soon were deep in the throes of a magical battle. Jaspa used an absorbent shield, knowing that if she rebounded anything toward Osred and missed, she'd be in deep trouble.
I knew it, Myertek said as he helped her keep the field up while throwing force spheres. You're going to get it big time now.
Shut up, Myertek, and help me fight!
