Advertisement
Zabel offered Tom a mental thanks and he responded with a your welcome. They stopped and stared stupidly at each other. Tom said what they were both thinking.
"That was weird. This is going to take some time to get use to it."
She rub at eyes.
"Right, I'm going to get a shower. Do you want to look over Silent's curse now or when your done Sr.?"
Tom didn't care either way.
"Now is fine. Also, you don't have to Sr. me all the time, you know."
As she walked to the door.
"I know Sr."
He grumbled to himself when she want outside.
"Kobolds are strange girls."
Zabel chimed in his mind.
'I heard that Sr.'
Replying to her.
'And so is that.'
Wanting out side, her squadmates sat round the small barracks. Jester dealt a new card to Silent and asked.
"So serg, what's his name?"
Zabel raised an overhanging eyebrow.
"Who's name?"
Silent pointed to her office and Jester added.
"Yeah, what Silent said."
The sergeant sighed wearily.
"You already know his name."
Tick got up from her bunk and pulled out a ten as she walked over to Jester. Tock gone white with fear as Tick slapped the used ten next to Jester. In a quivering voice Tock begged to know.
"Ma'am is his name T-Tom?"
Some what confused, she answered with a yes. Tock put her head in her hands and mumbled about how they were all going to die. Tick pulled out ammo boxes and loaded clips into magazines. Silent began playing her last game of solitaire. Jester was laughing her ass off and said.
"Oh serg, you slimy gecko!"
Looking perplexed at the madness that has taken over her squad, Tom cleared up her confusion.

'They um, think we did it last night.'
Zabel face turned the same color red as her scale and horns. She growled in a low voice.
"By the gods, what is wrong with you all. We didn't do anything."
As they got quiet, she facepalmed and sighed.
"Silent he wants to see you next. I'm going to get clean upped."
Jester did a dance with her eyebrows as she stared Silent.
"Rock his world."
Silent tossed her cards at Jester as she got up. Tock asked out loud.
"Soo, we're not going to die?"
Tick peered down at a half empty ammo box and said grimly.
"Maybe, maybe not. We should get more ammo, just in case."
Silent tramped inside the office as his slammed the door closed. None of this made a sound of course. Tom was still setting on the ground and eating. She walked to his side so he could notice her and gave him a salute. Tom moved the tray from his lap to Zabel's desk, turning to get a good look at her.
"Ok, try making some noise."
Tapping her toes, clapping, flicking her fingers and yelling. She tried and failed. Tom was doing his magic thing and she could feel it on some level of her being. Her toe caused a tapping noise. Next her finger snaped and she let out a loud.
"Oh yeah!"
Making random noises as she asked.
"How did you do it?"
Getting a thinking face, he tried to explain.
"You had two spells on you at the same time. The silence spell should have only lasted for a day, but the suggestion spell some how got tangled up with it. I don't know how is doing it, but they kept refresh it... what are you doing?"
With a evil smile, she unfastened the buttons on her uniform.
