บท 275: Servant of the Axe - Hearth Week, part 3

Chapter Type: Society

It is no secret that I hate mornings.  I turned away from the sunlight, and fell out of my narrow bed.

"Little Monitor, if you move quickly, you can cook breakfast for us." Kang Shi said.

I mumbled something noncommittal.

"Oh look." She said.  "I have a nice shiny sergeant's badge.  I'll bet it will reflect light… right…  about…"

"I'm up,  I'm up." I said.  "I suppose I can do breakfast.  I'll need to leave after that, though."

"You'll need to stay after that, Little Monitor.  Captain Feng has an announcement regarding this new spy duty."

"Why does any of that need to be announced?"

She shrugged.  "Seems some people are curious about who made the detail, and which of us are here setting out bear traps on the roof."

"Bear traps?" I asked.

"After breakfast.  Get you armor on, you'll need to wear it to the morning formation."

"On the roof?"

She nodded.  "On the roof."
