The Darker Carnival (The Markhat Files) (21 page)

“All right, children,” I said, both annoyed to have Hecate foisted upon us and amused to be the mature one in the group, at least temporarily. “We reconnoiter, eat and sleep. It’s not like we need a lot of sleep anyway. Five hours enough?”

Apollo and Hecate both gave me a surprised look, maybe expecting me, reasonably enough, to be the weakest link. “You’re enough changed now that you no longer need sleep?” Apollo asked.

“I didn’t need much last night.”

A look passed between us, and Hecate groaned. “Oh, get a room.”

“We’ve got one,” Apollo answered. “Unfortunately, you’re in it.”

“So no threesome then?”
