Chrysalis

Chapter 1208

Jern woke with a start.

“What was that?” he mumbled sleepily.

It’s me.

“Who’s me?” he wondered as he rubbed at his eyes.

“Who’s Anthony? Can I go back to sleep, Anthony?”

“I’m really tired, Anthony. Can this wait until the morning?”

I mean… it could? But I’ve already woken you up, so we may as well do this now. Can you go and get your friend?

“I’m already wearing pants.”
