Lumen sighed. Crawling inside the sleeping bag, she propped her head up with her hands as she stared up at The Wall. Eyes flickered to her friend's face. There was NO WAY Ysobel was letting her not answer this question.
And how long had they been meeting like this?
Since the early days at the Academy. Long before things became more lenient. Lumen and Ysobel had risked punishment, one of the rare times Lumen stepped outside the rules, to have nights like these. And Lu wouldn't have traded it for anything. Even when getting found out had had more serious consequences than they did today.
"Kill Kalix."
Didn't most people find him annoying anyway? His pride was almost as big as Leander's. Not that any of the three Ysobel offered were unattractive. And she knew Kalix the least. The irony was that...wasn't he in jail for murder right now?
A small hesitation at the next two.
Might as well be honest.
"Kiss Silas Artesto and marry Maseno Luana."
Eyes flickered to Ysobel in mock warning.
"Don't start with me."
