It’s Tamara, and three other Nobles are with her. None of them is Mikah, but the girl from the stairs is right there, and she doesn’t look as terrified as usual.
Four on one? Maybe they have more friends hiding nearby. That would be fun.
“You can come closer. We don’t bite,” one of them laughs.
“A shame,” I reply as I approach.
It takes only seconds for me to analyze the best course for taking them out. Slitting two of their throats would take mere seconds, and the girl from upstairs would be easy to take out with a stab of my short dagger. Tamara will have her neck snapped.
Disappointing, but it’s time to get on with it.
The girl from the stairs shuffles uncomfortably. “Um… before you attack us, could you listen to what we have to say?”
Fuck. Does she read minds? I can’t
