Find The Word Tag Game

Taking advantage of @writingpotato07's open tag, and passing it along.

Tagging: EVERYONE WHO SEE'S THIS! Your words are; Meeting, Matter, Mutter, Mild and Moving!

My words, for my search are...

(Spoilers for Changeling, Fey Touched Book One, beneath the cut!)

Office

"Good morning. Is Headmaster Walcott in his office?" Andric's voice cut through the quiet of the room, but instead of an answer, he received a delighted gasp in response. A head of red-tinged brunette hair emerged from behind a stack of papers, and the newly revealed receptionist grinned.

"Andric! You're back!"

Drift

A mug of coffee settled into position in front of her, and Lizzy blinked at it slowly. The rich scent drifted up on thin streams of steam and she drew in a slow, deep breath.

Close

Booker pressed the pair of them as close to the tree as he could, lifting the hood on his wool coat, and using the dark material to blend with the shadows.

I didn't have Cuddle or Absurb!

Heads Up, 7 Up Tag Game

Thank you for the tag @emelkae! I've been working on mu Changeling rewrite since the beginning of the month, so it'll be a piece about my darlings, Lizzy and Booker...

Rules: Post the last 7 sentences you've written. Then tag 7 people.

The last seven sentences I wrote, means we start in the middle of a piece of dialogue, so for context, the opening lines are Booker attempting to explain why he and Lizzy can't give Walcott any more information than they already have...

"[...]. Which is why it's classified. As Lizzy mentioned, we didn't intend to come here. Master Roche was rather insistent, however."

"I understand," Walcott offered gently, "then perhaps our best course of action should be to contact your ambassador at the European Vampire Council. They would be sure to know—"

"No," Booker said sharply, but Lizzy could feel him fumble for an excuse. It didn't matter what he came up with though, she realised as she watched the Headmaster's expression, their flimsy cover of being on official business had already melted away and she sighed, patting Booker's hand that still rested on her shoulder.

"Sit down, Booker," she muttered when he glanced at her, and as Booker quietly did as she said the Headmaster turned his attention back on her.

Tagging forward, with no pressure, to...

First Draft Completed

*Crawls into the room, panting*

*Staggers over to the desk*

*Slams down a stack of papers*

Fucking did it!

The manuscript for Changeling, Book One of the Fey Touched Trilogy, is complete at 108,623 words.

*Collapses*

Tiny sneak peek from the final chapter, beneath the cut

"I am a fey of Arbaon," Booker sneered, "I don't answer to you or your council."

It had been a long time since Lizzy had heard Booker utilise his court voice, and if the room had been coated in ice it couldn't have felt colder than his hissed words.

Turning, Booker looked over his shoulder at Walcott and raised a single eyebrow, "I assume our discussion will remain... confidential, Headmaster?" Booker all but demanded, and Lizzy watched the headmaster raise his eyebrows.

"Of course, Master Reed."

"Good," Booker said simply, before turning back around, placing a hand on Lizzy's elbow and marching them both out of the office without another word.
