Grue, for his part, ignored her.
I get the sense that he doesn’t really care for the theatrics.
I think I know who might, though… *glances at Regent*
Once the wires were in place, he used duct tape to secure them, then he got two more chairs, laid them on their sides and taped them to her chair. He was almost done when Imp finally concluded her charade with the portable generator.
I was too distracted by Imp to comment on the generator, but yeah… when there’s no power where you’re going, you bring something that can make it for you. Of course.
The LEDs at the ends of the extension cords lit up as we plugged each cord in to the generator, glowing a dim orange. Grue stood, then pushed the refrigerator away from the wall so he could unplug it and plug the appliance into the generator. I couldn’t be sure if it was to ensure a steady current through the wire or because he wanted a working fridge.
That last thing is at the very least a nice bonus.
I’d finished unpacking the wires, so I picked up the empty box and entered the living room to put one box inside the other to minimize the mess.
Bitch had claimed the sofa for herself, reclining with two dogs up beside her.
This is the woof couch, only woofs allowed.
She was rubbing her forearms, which were probably strained from controlling the more unruly dogs with the chains. She glared up at me, and there was something ugly in her expression.
Yeeah, she’s not happy about this at all.
I really do wonder how Taylor and Lisa managed to convince Brian to a) trust Taylor and b) join in on whatever this plan of Taylor’s entails.
I couldn’t blame her for being angry. Her dogs, some of her closest friends in the world, had died because she had been saving me, only for her to find out shortly afterward that I had been a traitor.
Ouch, yeah.
Maybe saving me hadn’t been her primary motivation, but it seemed she’d used the past week and an unhealthy dose of simmering anger to revise her perception of things so I was to blame for what had happened. It wasn’t getting better, either.
Heh… yeah, this is gonna be tricky to fix. Very tricky.
