Reggie made his little speech to dollface. Bunch of stuff about some old book. Apparently the little girl was the "greatest living furia in a thousand years." Ceptin' my Rune, of course.
He wanted her to work her magic on the page and figure out what the writer was thinking. Only problem was, the guy was a thousand years dead.
Regardless of how idiotic it sounded to Seth, dollface must have believed Reggie. She walked over to his desk and sat down. It took a few moments for Seth to realize she wasn't going to stop staring dumbly at the page any time soon.
Once that was clear, Seth was pretty much alone with Reggie, and he acted accordingly. "Okay Reggie, you've got dollface starin' at the paper,"
he jerked a thumb towards the girl, "now why don't we get down to business."
Seth stood up and crossed the room. Standing right in front of Reggie, the difference in height and build was pretty plain. Seth was bigger; a lot bigger. "Unless you feel like slappin' me again--you and my little Runey got a lot in common--I'd like you to tell me why the hell I'm here."
Dragging people across continents just wasn't done. Individual Atharim had enough to deal with on their own turf, they didn't need the complications that came with jobs more than a thousand miles away. If Reggie grabbed him and Rune, it must have been something big.
