"Isn't it obvious?"
Vale, a little dejected, leaned back and slowly replied:
"No…?"
Salome let another quill separate and joined it with the other one Awilix had been chasing around, giving the cat two targets, momentarily stunning her.
Then, Salome spoke:
"Either they were hiding something, something beyond where I was that they didn't want us to find. Or… they simply wanted to corral Toy and me back in our dungeon if the assassination failed."
"But why would…"
'No…'
'Wait…'
'Wait a second—'
'Are they capable of such an intellectual feat?'
As Vale mulled over his opponent's actions, he couldn't help but think of how short-sighted he'd been. Just because their characteristics are closer to beast than human, he'd committed the fallacy he hated most in life.
A preconceived notion based on appearance.
