<\/p>\n
The humans arrived a moment later. The male shoved another guest from a chair, then chivalrously offered the emptied seat to the female.<\/p>\n
The displaced dragon scrambled to his feet. \u201cI demand satisfaction!\u201d<\/p>\n
The human, without turning around, stabbed his sword backward into the chest of the dragon. <\/p>\n
\u201cSatisfied?\u201d<\/p>\n
The dragon tumbled with a thump.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow I remember why I liked you, Yadezkra,\u201d said Korien. \u201cWhat\u2019s your name this time around?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYorgash, Your Majesty.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYorgash, Yorgash. Ah, our food. I hope you don\u2019t mind, Yorgash. I ordered human heart.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cEvery one to his own taste, Your Majesty,\u201d Yorgash said blandly.<\/p>\n
The proprietress placed the chalices before them. Each goblet contained a human heart on a bed of crushed ice, glazed in honey and sugar and topped with chopped pineapple.<\/p>\n
\u201cI ordered for you and your wife as well.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYour thoughtfulness is touching.\u201d Yorgash picked up the prong and used it appropriately to maneuver the heart. He crunched and visibly swallowed.<\/p>\n
\u201cA bit tough,\u201d he critiqued. \u201cThe heart of a fallen gladiator, I\u2019d wager. You should try children, especially the spoiled fat ones who\u2019ve been stuffed with too much cake. Much more tender. I\u2019ve found traitors often have such children.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
