The men in the room spoke normally if a little subdued. When the noble stopped at a large corner table the room went silent. A large grey haired man s...ghed, “I told you Andrew, your skill is not enough and your magic ... not strong enough to matter.”The noble blushed and gestured to me, “I brought someone you would accept.”The man looked at me, “and why would we accept him? He is a boy and from the look does not have any skill with weapons.”The noble grinned, “he has mind magic.”The older man. The Mara audible now in her manner of speech was blunt and direct. “Now, imagine you’re sharing Jim’s room and one of the girls has to come in and check on you, for any reason. What trigger words are going to jolt him awake? How is Charlie this morning? Is Charlie awake and alert? There’s going to be hamloaf in the dining hall today, but you’ll have to skidaddle, because Victor Charlie is moving in, and you won’t have any support?”The balding old black man in the wheelchair paused for a long. Keshawn and Jason both agreed that she was pretty hot and I was a lucky man. I appreciated their compliment, although it made me a bit nervous how flirtatious she was acting with these two guys, and I noticed that Keshawn winked at her while she brought fresh beers. My wife just smiled back with a knowing look and even once slapped him on the wrist and said, "Watch your hands, you dirty dog." It was getting dark and the beers were starting to loosen everyone up, so I invited my coworkers inside. I asked if she had been drinking or taking drugs. She admitted that she took some prescription medication, but she was in love with me and has been since she first saw me. This just isn’t like her! ‘I stalled her by asking to use the bathroom. I sent a text to Gwen and thought I’d wait until Gwen arrived. Ashley, used that small screwdriver to unlock the bathroom door, but when she tried to come into the room, she bumped into the doorjamb and fell backward to where she is now,’ finished Steve. .
