Celestria POV
Assassins Code:
Rule #1
Use whatever you can. Whether it be your body, mind, or environment; whatever will give you the advantage.
I rub my face again, trying to focus on the impromptu meeting that just had to happen at 4:28 in the morning. My eyes are half open as I clutch the hot cup of coffee in my hands. I'm in the large council room, at the red mahogany table and sitting in a leather swivel chair. My twin sister Celaena sits beside me, huffing and grumbling under her breath. I rub her back, calming her down and pass my coffee to her. She grips it tightly and takes a big gulp. Her golden blonde hair sticks out wildly from her braid and I begin to unravel it before re-braiding her thick locks. We're both in our pajamas, a matching black silk set with our names monogrammed on the left breast pocket in white. I pick at my nails with my knife as we wait for Arobynn to start the meeting.
Several other assassins sit around the table, all grumbling about the time and most in their pajamas with a few still in uniform from their jobs. Celaena sighs loudly and turns to me "this better be important. I'm missing my beauty sleep." I chuckle as a rough, low voice snarks "perhaps if you hadn't been reading all night, you wouldn't be so exhausted." I raise a brow and turn to the dark headed assassin sitting directly across from Celaena. He has tan skin, dark brown hair and matching eyes. He has a lean build but is still one of the top assassins. Well after Cel and I. Samuel Cortland or Sam sits next to his twin sister, Samantha or Thea. She sends me a wink as her brother taunts my sister.
Celeana rolls her eyes, throwing up her middle finger then going back to picking her nails. The brunette turns to me, waiting for one of us to respond. "Sam, you really need to get laid" I say lazily, with a smirk resting on my lips. Thea lets out a string of giggles and it's like magic to my ears. Her pretty honey-brown eyes twinkle as she laughs and her warm skin turns a shade of pink. Sam narrows his eyes at his sister and snarks something quietly to her. She sends him a seething glare before shouting "Celestria is right, you really need to get laid so you can get that massive stick out of your ass!"
