The Travelers made their exit, Shatterbird came inside to stand guard by the door, and the rest of us settled down.

This casual mention of Shatterbird coming inside caught me off-guard. :p

Lisa dialed and put her cell on speaker phone.  It rang twice before Cherish answered.

Let’s do this thing.

“Finally,” her voice came through the line.

“Your two minutes start now,” Lisa spoke.

Tick, tock!

“I should get four, since I’m dealing with only one group.”

Ehh. I see the logic, that because she’s allowed them to haggle it down, she should be allowed to haggle it up. Four might be a bit much, maybe?

“One minute, fifty-five seconds,” Lisa replied.

Heh, nice.

Cherish, you should probably have haggled that before the time started.

“Where should I start?  Hey, little brother.  Want me to tell them the sort of things you really did when you were back home?”

“Eh, why not.”

“It’s sort of tedious,” Alec replied.

Hehe.
