Okay, you begin as you take a steadying breath, don’t lose track of it now…
A whole minute goes by in relative silence as you work your magic–the bell shrouded in complete and utter silence as the Innkeeper and your pals listen as hard as they can!
Exhaling softly, you give your opponent a wry grin. So, you ask in a voice sweeter and smoother than honey, Left?
You snap your finger.
Or Right?
Snap snap.
“Easy,” Grunts the moody Moleg as he continues to polish his glass, “‘S the <span class="mu-s">RIGHT</span>. You didn’t move it none.”
Hmmm, you ponder with mock concern, well if that’s his <span class="mu-i">final</span> answer…
“I’da heard it if ya did,” He repeats, but his glowing eyes betray a sprinkle of uncertainty… “Nah… wait a minute…”
Oh? You ask as you cock your head to the side, Having second thoughts?
“NNgh… It’s the <span class="mu-s">LEFT!</span>” He groans as he jabs a massive claw in the direction your snap came from, “I dunno how, but…”
“You’d have to be either really fast or really skilled to pull it off…” Mutters TT as she too leans in to examine the results, “Or both… Can… do humans <span class="mu-i">do</span> that kind of thing?”
“I’d believe it!” Laughs Volka with a shake of her head, “Ant’s full of surprises, y’know!”
That’s right, you nod with an even bigger, SMUGGER grin, so what’s your answer, Barman? Right? Or Left?
“Yer’ trickin’ me…” He snarls, barely resisting the urge to grab your hands and peel them open, “R-Right! No… Left! Urrgh… Wait…”
GO AHEAD! MR. BARKEEP!
You can practically <span class="mu-i">hear</span> the veins throbbing in the Moleg’s temples as he struggles to stick with an answer! The glass trembling in his claws, he lets out one last snarl that causes the whole Inn to go quiet!
“<span class="mu-s">LEFT!</span>” Roars the brusque barman, “<span class="mu-s">FINAL ANSWER!</span>”
The whole establishment goes silent as his choice rings throughout the tavern! Snapping your fingers on your left hand, you invite him to check…
And grin as his eyes go wide in shock!
“Wh… <span class="mu-i">HUUUUUUUHHHHHH!?!</span>”
>CONTD.
