She walked back towards the kitchen as Flower finished singing and then the door closed on the final note. The room stirred and Flower laughed a silvery laugh that made everyone smile.As she began a lively song I nodded to the council and master Cartier cleared his throat, “We want to hire you to kill. You’ve certainly made enough money in your career in that you can pursue what you want. Listen, it’s up to you, I can’t make you do this if you don’t want to but, I know you have so much more potential than you’re showing right now.
