Jax waited until everyone had left Terrick’s office except the royals and headmasters. He stepped into the middle of the room. “Zuri and I need to speak with you all,” he announced.
“Why do I get the feeling that we aren’t going to like what you have to tell us?” Nasima asked as she crossed her arms in front of her. The air around her began to swirl, and her long, flowing dress blew about as if it was giving a visual cue to the air queen"s mood.
“Because you won’t,” Zuri replied. “We’ve been approached by someone in need of … aid.
“Okay, are you going to tell us, or are you going to make us guess?” asked Kairi.
Zuri gave a mirthless laugh. “I could give you a million guesses, and you’d never get it.”
“Forgive me if I do not share in your obvious amusement,” Nasima replied dryly.
