Regent handed me more cloth, and I wadded it into place.  Tattletale wasn’t really moving, and I couldn’t be sure if it was because of the amount of blood she had already lost or just because it hurt too much.

She’s probably not having a good time right now.

I saw a flicker of light as Jack flicked his knife out, tossed it into the air and then caught the blade tip between his middle finger and the nail of his index finger.  He snapped it around so he gripped the handle.  “I suppose I should get around to the purpose of our meeting you here, Regent and Bitch.

Alright, I will admit that’s pretty neat.

And yeah, might be time for that now that one of their teammates is bleeding out on the ground, sure.

I guess it’s not Jack wanting to tell them what his test is, since he said he usually goes at the end.

Unless you want to pose your test to them, Bonesaw?”

Did she decide yet?

“No.  Let me think about it for a little while.”

Alright.

“Alright.

Hey!

Well, it wouldn’t do if our candidates died before we even got around to the tests, so I came to offer you two a warning.  Two warnings, as it happens, for each of you.”

…that’s ominous. Is there another threat separate from the S9? Between the Nine and Hookwolf’s alliance, it seems the Undertravelers have got enough on their plates.
