Chapter 1208

Jern woke with a start.

“What was that?” he mumbled sleepily.

“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.”

Alis can come meet you. Oh! If you see Beyn, do NOT mention that I’m talking to
