Sophia looked from Chicken to the pin to Alak's grinning face. She rubbed her hands together with glee. Noticing Menelien coming by Sophia beckoned her over to the table.
"How are you at playing innocent?" she asked. Menelien gulped and shrugged her shoulders, failing entirely to hide the laughter that she was supressing. "Good enough." Sophia said. "Swear secrecy." she commanded. Menelien swore.
Turning to Alak she nodded. "Let's do it..." the grin on her face was beyond controllable as Alaklondewen stabbed Chicken with the long pin. Such fun!
