Nyra was currently hovering over me, her brush flicking across my eyelid with the precision of a surgeon."Is that Declan again?" Nyra asked, her voice tight with that familiar edge of disdain. She’d never made a secret of her distrust for Declan Voss. She claimed her bluntness was a trait passed down through generations of her desert-dwelling kin, but I knew it was just her being protective."He’s just being a professional, Nyra. This move to the Thornridge Dominion is huge for us.""If a Lead Scout ever growled at me with that tone, I’d challenge his position right there in the dirt. Now, eyes up, Rowan."Looking up meant I was officially cut off from my device. I was cutting it dangerously close to the gathering, but I’d rather face Declan’s wrath than walk into the Citadel with uneven war-paint. Lu
