The guards' fear had been simple.
Kaelmor's presence brought something older. A theater curtain drawn over a gallows. He looked delighted, but the delight had no warmth. His eyes moved over the destroyed coffin, the ruined siphons, the dead guards, the demoness herself. He noticed everything.
The demoness smiled faintly. "Good morning?"
Kaelmor spread one hand. "A little late, perhaps, but one must maintain manners."
"How long was I asleep?"
He tilted his head. "Long enough for the world to become terribly untidy."
"Because of you?"
His smile widened. "Because no one else cared to keep it entertaining."
She laughed softly.
Not amused.
Disappointed.
Kaelmor's gaze sharpened by half a breath.
He did not like that laugh.
The demoness walked around the shattered coffin, trailing one finger across its broken edge. "You kept me in ugly furniture. Cheap taste."
"It held."
"Barely."
