We heard retreating footsteps, and once Kenzie had made sure the Crows were gone, she opened the door wide and crossed her arms over her chest before looking at me.
“So, what’s the plan, Captain?” she asked, all business.
I felt horns forming at the top of my head as I answered her by saying, “I don’t know why, but I feel like the bottle of Dexilant in locker 234 is suddenly calling my name.Incessantly.”
Her eyes gleamed. “Oh, you evil,evilbitch.”
I smirked. “No one talks aboutmypiece of meat like that.” It feltsogood to call Gallan ‘mine’. I was so trilled over the fact that I was ready to run for freaking president, just so I could lose and fall from grace to get myself under control.
“Yasssss, QUEEN. Get!” Kenzie cheered.
I chuckled. “But, however shall we find the one who is well-equipped in getting our significant task executed?”
She gasped as if in serious dismay. “Alas. If only we were aware of the Bad Queen Aubrey’s cupbearer.” She then placed a hand before her face and looked at her palm as if staring in the mirror. “Oh, I have found her – the chosen one!”
I couldn’t hold it in; I started laughing. “God, I feel like I’m Cersei Lannister right now.”
Kenzie snort-laughed. “Christ, I can’t.” She laughed alongside me. “Wait, if you’re Cersei, then what does that makeme?”
I was still laughing when I said, “Qyburn.”
She gagged. “Ewww. He’s so old and ugly!”
I leaned against the doorframe and pressed a hand over my stomach as I cackled – for real.
She joined me, and then touched the side of her head against mine. “I can’t wait to see Aubrey lose all of her dignity in the next few minutes,” she said.
I grinned. “Oh yeah, I can’t wait, too. And I promise you that whatever happens this time, I won’t scurry or look away.”
We high-fived, and then headed straight into plan ‘Assassinate Aubrey’s Dignity’.
Things were about to get really,reallyshitty – quite literally.
