“You up for this, Grue?” I asked, “I could do it. My plan, and I was first to volunteer.”
So whatever it is, it’s something both of them could do. Something to do with the decoys, I guess?
“No, you can’t run fast enough with those burns.” Grue replied, as he hurried to the side of the rooftop furthest from the Nine. He glanced down. “Trickster, I’m ready!”
Ah, alright.
“Just need an opportunity,” Trickster said, watching the incoming members of the Slaughterhouse Nine. They were closing a little too fast for comfort. Sirius had arrived, and we were all getting saddled.
Is Trickster going to replace Grue with someone? I don’t see a benefit to that, though.
Bitch, Sundancer and I on Bentley, and Regent, Trickster and Ballistic on Sirius. At Regent’s orders, Sirius moved to Grue’s side.
Hmmm. Is it going to be something to compensate for the lack of enough dogs?
“Sooner than later!” Grue said.
“Do you want to die?” Trickster asked.
He’s just a little impatient at times. Though I guess there might be an advantage to going sooner here?
“No, but I’m willing to break something!”
So are they switching Grue and Shatterbird, resulting in Grue falling from the sky?
Again, I don’t see the benefit to that, but it sounded like Plan A relied on Shatterbird being ahead of the other two, so maybe this is their way of setting that up?
