Chapter 5: So… Want a new job?(2/2)
“The reason why Jessabell and I spoke for so long is because I have a unique ability as she called it. That would make me suited for being a Warden. Especially when working with magical beasts. I can speak the language of beasts. Natural, or Super-Natural.” Just like Jessabell, Li'Ana froze when she was writing in her book. She slowly looked at him, her neck rotated like one of those ghosts you watch in a horror movie. Had to say it was creepy looking.
“Y..You can speak to beasts...No matter their breed?” Nodding his head Lash responded.
“Yes, Jessabell brought a Griak in with her. I met them at the City fair last night. I didn't know this but Griaks are hard to speak to, and are even harder to understand. Each one likes to talk differently. But to me it all sounds the same. I was able to carry a full conversation with the one Jessabell brought.” Just like Jessabell, Li'Ana's eyes got all big and round. She stood up, but unlike Jess, she didn't bounce and cheer, she walked around the table. Well, walk is not the right word she was prowling. -Hisss! Run Partner Lash! She is about to attack! Let me out! I will take her for the Feast of many bones! Lash jumped to his feet, and put the kitchen counter between them.
“OK! I know Fae seem to be physically intimate! But, you look like your about to attack me!” Lash said with a hint of edge to his voice.
Li'Ana stopped, realizing how she was acting, coughed and went back to her seat. Unlike before when she was clearly playing her part up. This embarrassed blush was authentic. She took her pen out once more and began to write in her book. Lash came back to the table. After that everything went the same as Jessabell. Went over this and that, a few details specific to the Seelie Court. She gave him her business card, with her private number as well. If he ever needed any extra info. Warden's and envoys would often work with one another. This was not the last time Lash would see Li'Ana.
“Congratulations, Erik Lash by this time tomorrow, you will be an official Deputy Warden!” With that, Li'Ana bid him goodbye, left through the balcony and just literally ghosted out...
