Ezekiel “f***k that was a pain in the a.ss,” Cairn laughed breathlessly. “No, you were a pain in the a.ss, there were so many things you should have remembered, things that would have helped and things that could have ended this fight much sooner.” He had his hands on his knees catching his breath and he waved one at me tiredly, “meh, lighten up, we did it.” “Barely,” I snapped and shoved him. He shoved me back, and I went to punch him in the face, but he grabbed my fist and said, “not now, as much as I love our fights, we need the energy to fight the spider king, and we cannot afford to be weak and injured right now.” He was right, sighing, I reluctantly removed my fist from his hand and put it by my side. “Lead the way,” I gritted. He grinned like it was Christmas f.ucking Day
