rage continued to roll off him in waves.

There was nothing but tense silence between us. I didn’t dare make a sound ~ Thad a feeling I’d already gotten into

“You walked into a literal fight.”

“Okay, yes,” I said, “But Zeke told you what Instructor Ivan was saying — he was trash-talking humans! Maybe a physical

room at all.”
