“By the Lady, mind your tongue!” Lucian could not help but feel his blood run cold as those words were said to him, “You’ve said many idiot things over the years, cousin, but this is the dumbest day you’ve ever had!”
<span class="mu-i">“Dumbest?”</span> Charles slowly leaned into Lucian with a smirk, <span class="mu-i">“You not gonna deny it?”</span>
“Neither of us are mutants, blessed we are by the Lady!” Lucian said as he tried to recover the situation, “If you keep talking like that they might just come.”
“With you at their head!” Jeered Charles as he looked to be launching himself upon the prey that he so meticulously prepared.
Before the Cousin could say anything more though there was a shout, “Charles, what are you doin’!?”
It was like an explosion from one of the Imperial Caravans had gone off. Both of them turned to see what was a growing posy of woman all poised for the strike. Lucian noticed his Sister, Odgu, was at the front of what were his first and second cousins covering her at the back. Each of them was weilding something that did not seem too deadly, but Lucian already knew an uncle who had his head bludgeoned open with one of those large serving spoons.
“You going to defend him? Its obvious that he is a mu-” He did not get to finish the words as a hand reached down and grabbed him by the shoulder. It was a firm hand as well, strong enough that it might just shatter the should it was resting on.
“Problem?” One of the Fathers, Simon, gripped tightened upon the shoulder of his nephew, “Git.”
Charles did not need any more prompting and escaped the hand of his uncle with speeds that would make squills embarrassed. Lucian noticed then that the area seemed a lot more void of people than it was a moment ago. Where once the place was filled with what the Peasant slowly realized to be his cousins and even a few brothers, there was now no one.
“Good.” Simon said as he nodded to Lucian.
The Peasant took in a breath as he was quickly swarmed in the next moment by quite a few relatives. Questions came pouring one after another asking if he was feeling alright and if he was needing some help.
He kinda enjoyed it, but Odgu quickly got them all away as she finally got to him.
