Thanks to our dark elf guide, though, I knew what they were. At that altitude, they could have been birds-like vultures, given the pattern in which they were flying. Sending Truck-kun back to whatever interdimensional nexus it came from, I followed Velaven’s pointing finger to see the shapes circling high above us. It’s a certainty they have never seen anything like Truck-kun before.”īanish Delivery Truck. “There.” Velaven had taken her bow from Aster and now clutched it protectively, staring upward. You can’t get bogged down in the details.” “Do…these things that come out of your mouth make sense inside your head, before they start to leak?” Zui asked. I can always get a new arse.”Įveryone paused, turning to stare at her. “She’s my best girl, the only one like her. The gwynnek chirped smugly under the attention. “It’s true,” Nazralind agreed, leaning forward to stroke Newneh’s head. They kind of rattled around in that cavernous space, but there’d been no place to cram them in the cab with all four of us in there. “That would be so much more compelling if we didn’t all know you loved that bird more than your own arse,” Aster grunted, already retrieving our artifact weapons from the rear compartment. “Hey, I’m the one out here wearing my arse raw in a saddle, I’m entitled to make fun.”
“Childish jealousy isn’t a good look on anybody, Naz,” Zui said sweetly, “no matter how familiar you are with it.” “Aw, is that it? No more nice cushy ride in the magic truck with the hot air and seats like sculpted feather beds? Poor babies.” Now that the truck was no longer moving, Naz heeled her gwynnek over to us, grinning irrepressibly as usual. That meant Zui had to clamber off Aster’s lap and out of the cab, followed by Aster, and then finally Velaven, who had been sitting in the middle but seemed to consider it a matter of protocol not to enter or exit from the same side as the Dark Lord.
I brought it to a stop, set the brake, and killed the engine, then hopped out while the others went about the more involved process of doing the same. At least it was a road, but Truck-kun was designed for 21 st century pavement and this mountain highway had been medieval before going without repairs for a century and a half. That suited me fine, as the truck had already been struggling on the steep uphill road. “Any higher and Nazralind will be in danger.”
