I stared at this new nobody who had managed to sneak into the watch box, Xaikis. Her name had been on the list but she hadn't appeard until now.
"You're late," were my first words.
"Um...." she answered.
"The late get a special treat in being late," I said sharply.
Fire was staring to break on the floor. Calm down. Calm down. Don't want to burn everything to nothiness...that would be too chaotic and there would be no order at all in it.
"Um.....are you the...the...the number two Triskix by chance?" she finally asked.
"Yes that is me," I answered, "And as punishment for being late......you get the joys of cleaning the castle from head to toe."
"You can't be serious...." she started.
"You missed my morning lecture. I am always serious down to my core," I answered.
The look on her face was enough. I turned back to the match and stared out the window again.
