“Poetic,” Jack said. “I take it Skitter is this clever worm?”
“Yup.”
Naturally.
“Skitter.” Jack looked at me. “You do anything and Siberian attacks. I’ll attack as well. Whatever it is you’re thinking of trying, I’m betting the two of us can cut you down before it works.”
Way to cut that potential issue off at the root.
Does “cut you down” count as a pun, coming from Jack? I mean, Jack would literally cut her down, but that doesn’t seem to be Siberian’s M.O., and he’s including her in the statement.
Honestly, I’d love it if he kept making subtle blade/edge puns.
I swallowed, then took a small breath to clear my throat and ensure I wouldn’t stammer or come out sounding even slightly unclear. “Alright.”
So it seems like the Slaughterhouse members aren’t immediately looking for a fight. At least not with the non-nominees.
