"Yes, I do," I snap. "I've had one hell of a long day and am tired of people right now. Do we have to do this now?"

When I was your age I was still unable to reach the lowest shelf of my father's alcohol cabinet." "What are you doing here?" I ask, crossing my arms as she offers me a smile. "So unwise to talk with an elf like this....anyway, Lyra, I would advise you to stay here only for a few more weeks." "A few more weeks and I'll loose my mind," I comment,
