Mannequin tapped on Burnscar’s shoulder. She turned, and he parted his mouth slightly before drawing an ‘x’ over it with one finger.
Hm… is he saying he’s not going to tell on her, or that she shouldn’t let Grue talk, or…
“Mannequin says you’re lying.”
Ah. I guess that works.
Crap. My bugs weren’t in position to attack yet.
At least if she keeps talking to Grue, there’s still some time.
“You really going to gamble on that?” Grue asked.
“Yeah,” Burnscar said. The flames around us swelled in size.
Fair enough.
Wait, is Mannequin actually allowed to interfere like that, or does that count as assisting?
I suppose restricting him from giving her a little tip like that is a bit too strict a reading of that rule.
I had no time left for subtlety. I gave the order for my bugs to attack directly, closing the distance by the fastest and most obvious routes available.
Here we go, let’s see how Bonesaw’s squishy-protection deals with this.
