The Drowning Eyes
“Tazir snatched two of the pebbles off of the pile for the equipment budget. “Or at least not after what you pulled coming into Hanshi.”Her hatchet-nosed quartermaster locked her amber eyes on Tazir’s. “I told you, Cap, just because I can hack that together in a pinch don’t mean I plan on doing it every—”“And how are we not in a pinch?” Tazir asked, dropping the pebbles back on the greasy wooden bartop with the rest of the pile for food.Chaqal opened her mouth to say something, but Tazir could s...ee her eyes taking in the scene around them.
