Chapter 998: Drama-cats

The beaver-cats all huddled together as they observed Lex descend from the sky, but upon hearing his introduction they were all startled. That was not surprising. After all, Lex had introduced himself across the realm so he expected everyone to know the Innkeeper.

But instead of answering his question, the beaver-cats huddled together and began whispering.

"Lieutenant Jacob, thou still have a chance to redeem thy honor!"

"I would rather walk through seven incarnations of eternal fire," he said adamantly.

Once again, an incredibly dramatic exchange between the lieutenant and the captain began, all somehow without ever actually stating what the issue was. Lex wanted to help, but he had no idea where to begin.

"Gentlemen, perhaps I can help," Lex said as he stepped onto the wall with him. He found it funny that these beaver-cats thought they could hide their conversation by whispering when he was so close. Maybe they didn't have spirit senses yet.
