"Felix, how do you know when Hugh wants you to do something?" "He tells me," Felix said. "Ah!" She clapped her hands together. "He tells you. Imagine that. So you are able to communicate with actual words rather than grunts and snarls. What happened? Why didn't you tell me you wanted them alive after I killed the first one? It took me like three minutes to slide the sword into that second guy. I had to lay on it." Hugh made a low noise in his throat. If humans could growl, it would sound just like that. She gave him a sweet smile. Any sweeter and you could spread it on toast. "Use your words."
