章 1022: Premeditated

Ves pushed off his table and coasted over in the direction of the battered bar counter where the two elite Spiral Shocker guards and Lord Javier huddled behind.

"Don't shoot! It's me!" He said as he floated to their cover position.

Lord Javier gaped at Ves as soon as he came into sight. His guards probably paused in astonishment as well, though their heavy helmets obscured their expressions.

"Did you do all that?" Javier asked with a tremble in his voice.

"No, a unicorn did it." Ves flippantly said. "Are you okay?"

"I'm unharmed."

"That's good to hear."

"Say, can you give me your weapon? I'm a good shot."

"You'll have to ask the unicorn, not me. I'm unarmed."

Lord Javier threw a skeptical eye at Ves. "Yeah right."
