Erin Solstice
|
Erin sat in her inn, staring at the table. She didn’t have anything better to do. Normally, she served customers, chatted, or played chess, but she couldn’t today. |
Pawn
|
They were all gone. Pawn had left for the city with the other Workers, promising to come back tomorrow. |
Toren
|
Toren looked up from his table at Erin. He paused, waiting for an instruction, and then went back to scrubbing. |

Toren
|
Toren carefully picked up a small beetle that had wandered into the building and squished it between his fingers. |
Erin Solstice
|
Obediently, the skeleton walked out the door. Erin tried not to let her stomach remember the sight of the orange insides of the insect oozing— |
Toren
|
It wasn’t very cold. Toren opened the door and walked back in, fingers clean, but Erin barely shivered. |

Erin leaned over the table. She had no one else to talk to, and at least Toren looked confused when she spoke, which was better than nothing. |

Pawn
|
“It was the chess. Pawn was totally on the offense this morning! Did you notice that? He was better—I mean, he’s still learning, but he’s taking chances. I can’t wait to see what happens if he and Rags play a game. It’s like he had a massive confidence boost or something. Do you think it was what happened with Ksmvr?” |
Rags

Toren
|
Toren stared at Erin and then picked up the rag and dipped it into the bucket. Erin sighed. She leaned back in her chair, wondering how much it would hurt if she fell over. It would hurt more if Toren dove to catch her like he had twice before. Landing on floorboards? Ouch. Landing on bony skeleton bits? Double ouch. |

Erin Solstice
|
Erin closed her eyes, and then her eyes opened wide. She lost her balance and tipped forwards, smacking her face on the table. But she didn’t even process that. |

|
Erin looked around. Toren stared at her, holding the dripping rag in one hand. Erin knocked her chair over as she ran into the kitchen and grabbed the frying pan and a jar of acid. Toren looked up and dropped the rag when he saw Erin was armed. |

Erin Solstice

He immediately dashed into the kitchen and came out with the sword he’d taken from one of the adventurers Erin had kicked out of her inn. Erin knelt next to one of the tables, heart beating out of her chest. The alarm was still going off in her head, and she felt scared. |
