Soothsayer Ch. 13, Pt. 1

Notes: Wow, so much has happened in the past week. I officially sold my super villain story to Riptide, which will be getting a name change. Also, it might become a series, which is amazing. Also, there's a lot more that I'll talk about later this week, but for now! Have some Soothsayer confrontation, Texas-style. This was such a fun chapter to write, oh my god.


Title: Soothsayer Chapter 13, Part 1.

“Two things scare me. The first is getting hurt. But that’s not nearly as scary as the second, which is losing.” – Lance Armstrong

                Naturally, once Sören knew about the confrontation that was looming he insisted on being there. I figured it would be easier without him there but he thought, and probably correctly, that since he was the one we were fighting over he should have a say in our negotiations.

                “Fine,” I said, “but you keep your mouth shut for the most part, okay? Please? Because you’re not good at defusing these sorts of situations, and I think you know that.”

                “Defusing such situations would be boring,” he told me with a smirk. “I much prefer when you fight over me.”

                “And I much prefer living through these things, so don’t push it, okay?”
