Aery raised her eyebrows at Peter. He gazed back at her, his expression dark and unreadable.
"Well, now you've gone dancing with the dragon, Aery." Adam muttered. "That's one dangerous fellow."
"Remind me why we picked this bar again?" Alex wanted to know.
"Oh shush. Let's go on a walk with this guy, why don't we?" Aery said.
"Aery! No!" Peter smacked his hand on the table.
"Aww." She pouted.
"Well, why not go on a walk with him? He'll already remember all of our faces." Kyle suggested.
"Because he just killed one of his own guards?" Jon said, making a face.
Aery downed the rest of her Coke, got to her feet. Grumbling about her, the boys got up too.
"When did we agree to listen to a fourteen-year-old?" Peter grumbled.
"When you consider the fact that I can pull seniority on all of you." She called over her shoulder, walking quickly to catch up to the older boy. She saw his guards, only four of them left. She brushed by one of them and soon caught up with Orion. Peter and the others followed her too, so all six of them were walking in one bunch along the sidewalk.
