“A British cat,” I whispered and chuckled.
Jasper turned to me. “What was that?”
“Um, nothing.” I focused my attention on the screen and Jasper narrowed his eyes.
“Hello Captain Jasper. I assume by your demeanor that the news is not good.”
“Indeed High Prince. I would not have bothered you directly with this if it was not of utmost importance.”
Meta waved his hand dismissively and frowned. “I understand that the situation is more dire than first reported?”
Jasper looked over his shoulder and Meta followed his gaze. His frown vanished when he saw me.
“Ah, you must be the human, Nathan Chambers.” He smiled.
I took a step back and nodded sheepishly.
“You are younger than I thought. A boy of few words, eh?” Meta chuckled.
I felt tiny standing before the High Prince of the Consortium.
