Arcana: A recollection

  ‘Exciting as this is, Jacques, I was thinking we were about to discuss when I was going to enter this story!’ Brahm interjects. If Brahm has one failing, it was that he was proud of himself.

  ‘Patience, Brahm. I think that I’m entitled to recall a moment where I was nearly slaughtered by nameless monstrosities.’

  ‘Well, entitled or not, could you not speed this up a bit? Maybe cut ahead of the story?’ While Isaac is usually timid, he objects violently at this idea.

  ‘Councilman or not, you do not have the making of a scholar, Brahm! This is a piece of history in the works, and we most definitely CANNOT leave out any details, especially not for a man’s ego.’ Caught off guard by Isaac, Brahm is shocked enough to allow Jacques to cut in.

  ‘I think that was unnecessary Isaac. Brahm, we will discuss it in time. Just wait.’

  ‘Alright, alright. I apologise, this is not behaviour fitting a Councilman of Harkon, let alone the brother of the king. Where were you, Jacques?’
