“I’ll be right back. Try not to kill anyone between now and then,” she said, giving Myanin a smirk.
Myanin didn’t flinch. “It will be difficult, but I’ll do my best.”
Peri chuckled. “I really hope they don’t kill you. I think I’m going to like you. You’re growing on me, like mold on stale bread.”
“Is that a reference to your age?” Lilly asked.
“That or a reference to our djinn’s appeal,” Peri said just before she flashed.
Lilly glanced at Myanin. “Don’t take anything she says personally. Even though she probably does mean it, Perizada likes to get a reaction out of people. It’s how she gets her kicks because she’s as old as petrified wood.”
Myanin shrugged. “It takes a lot to offend me.”
“That’s good.” Lilly nodded. “You should have no problem fitting in with this group.”
