Book 5 chapter 9 and 10 scene sneak peaks because it's perhaps my favorites in the two chapters.
(First draft so they are rough as heck. Will be tweaked and polished!)
Of course these are spoilers if you somehow manage to pick through these and figure out what happened before said scenes, but nah.
You get no context so have fun.
Ch. 9

“Outstanding!” Shin exclaims, startling them both. “They have developed speech now?!”

Ch. 10
- Because My Boss Said So -

Kibito's glare burns hot. “Just what do you—”
He stops, his words caught in his throat. Karot was already prepared to take a belittlement, but it never came.
Kibito closes his eyes with a sigh, and he takes a step back. “Child.”

“It would be wise for you to think before you make such hasty statements,” Kibito tells him. “This is hardly the place to jest.”
Karot can feel the stillness in the air. His uncle looks far more confused than he does. At least Karot knows he's not the only one lost by the strange shift in Kibito's attitude.
‘It’s like he's too scared to say what he wants…’ Karot mentally notes. ‘He absolutely hates our guts, but his loyalty to the Supreme Kai is incredible…’
Kibito heard him. Karot knows, because his face twists in a way that is a mix of confusion and offendedness.
