Not planned...at all

Chapter 11

"My what?!"

"Your voice, it's different from how I first imagined it but it really suits you! Although it slightly reminds me of that one guy from how to train your dragon. The overly proud one with the red dragon?"

Looking at Roxy for confirmation she nodded convinced.

"Definitely! Even personality fits."

I can't help but snort at that although before the confused Vanserra gets to say anything we're interrupted by Rhysand's icy voice.

"What do you two think to be doing?"

Weird way to say "why the fuck are you two cheating with him?" but alright.

"Cuz he hasn't spent the last 15 minutes having a little secret VIP mental chat while we just stood there like two idiots?! After the first 3 minutes it all gets a bit boring you know."

Roxanne followed on with my argument.

"Plus he's cool, a bit shitty as a lover or friend, but he tries?!"

That was as close as Lucien would ever get to a compliment from Roxy so he best have recorded that. Azriel however looked mildly annoyed but also somehow curious.

"How could you know what he's like as a friend or lover?"

Roxanne answers first, although she barely explains anything so I go to expand.

"We read it"

"We've read your books so to say? The books that tell the story of this world in ours. They tell Feyre's story and then go slightly off course later on. So we know quite a lot about all of you although I'm not sure everything in our books is canon here..."

The answer seemed to appease Azriel who nodded. Finally More spoke for the first time and I noticed she had a wine glass at hand, when did she get that?

"So you two aren't from here, used to be human and come from a world where we're all just books?!"

My mouth opened and closed just as quickly so Roxanne answered in my place with a chuckle.

"When you put it like that..."

"You both must be stupid if you even think we'll believe that! What a bunch of idiots. Or maybe you both just hallucinated everything, I wonder how much both of you smoked to get to this point?!"

Vesta's poisonous words cut through the air and while Roxy gives her an incredulous look I roll my eyes and mumble.

"Said the pathological bitch and alcoholic..."

Okay maybe that was a bit much from her just calling us idiots and drug addicts but I've held it against her for so much longer I'll take any excuse I get to snap at her.

There's kind of a collective gasp and moment of silence which makes me regret it all even more. Yup definitely too much on my part, especially if I wanted to get along with them!

Also, fuck fae hearing. Can't a girl whisper in peace?!

This time there was no stopping Nesta as she stood up like a storm in its wake. If I didn't hold quite the resentment towards her I might've even said she was damn badass.
