White Blood
“Maryn’s heart leapt when she saw that Tior was on duty again. He tried to catch her eye and convey some message by his expression, but his wagging eyebrows and contorted grimaces were so exaggerated she turned away lest Carlich notice him and become suspicious.As soon as the door closed behind them, Carlich cut his arm and began the compulsion spell. She worried in the moments before it took effect that she might be forced to reveal her secret. Thankfully, he seemed in a hurry, for he didn’t qu...estion her, only reminded her not to tell anyone of his control over her.Maryn nodded mutely, and Carlich swept out, shutting her in.
