The girl seemed to struggle with civility. Armande felt relief at knowing that their use of her was rapidly coming to an end. It would well to wash his hands of her once and for all.
But for now, she still had her uses."Tell us about this entrance you found. Location. Details. Security. The path you took. I want you to leave nothing out, no matter how small."
His blue eyes burned like embers but inside he felt a thrill. If they had a way in, if Daniat's gift was what he hoped, if they were armed with the weapons Theis had procured for them, if surprise was on their side....well then. The great beast might die be slain after all. And who knew how he'd feel then. The gods would remain. But the greatest enemy defeated.
The girl might even earn another reprieve for such service.
