Sorry I haven't updated in ages...first my computor had a virus, then I got GOLIATH (two days early, mind you. I was supposed to get it Friday, but instead I got is Wednesday. Thank you, Amazon!). So yeah...It rocked though:):)
"Dr. Barlow!" Deryn called.
"Yes, Mr. Sharp."
"I wanted to discuss the...arrangment you mentioned to me before."
"Ah, yes, I was wondering when you'd ask me about it. I assume the young ex-prince will be wanting to join you?"
"Oh...aye. How'd you know?"
"Bovril had a discussion with my loris."
"Oh." Deryn said, her cheeks flushing pink.
"I assume you will be packed and ready by the time we land in London."
"Aye, ma'am."
...though it suggests to this reporter that the young prince have found the comfort of new and powerful allies.
"If only he knew." Alek said.
"What, what your new position is?" Deryn asked.
"No, why I left." Alek kissed her.
"Oh." Deryn smiled.
"Ugh, of course. It's times like these I really wish I hadn't told Dr. Barlow about me being a girl."
"I think you look nice."
"Well duh you do, you daft ninny! You're not the one in a dress!"
"Du schauen schön, aber ich mag Sie besser in der Hose.*"
"Why thank you. I personally prefer trousers myself."
So there you have it, folks. Three little post-GOLIATH one-shots:)
