Gus
While I’m waiting for Echoes of Insurrection to come back from the editor, I’ve been chipping away at Gus’s story. It’s kind of delightful. I’m eager to share it with you but not yet. Until then, here is a snippet to let you get acquainted with this new friend of mine.
Snippet
“You poisoned me,” [redacted] said.
“I sedated you.”
There was a difference.
[Redacted] finally looked at her. The full force of his attention an unwelcome reminder of what it felt like to be in the presence of a being much more dangerous than herself.
Fear tried to crawl up the back of Gus’s skull before she suppressed it. There were scarier things in this universe than an upset Tuann. No matter how deadly that Tuann might be.
“You were emotional. I thought a time out would be in everyone’s best interests,” Gus said.
“You are very brave.”
And very stupid.
He didn’t say that, but Gus heard it all the same.
“I’m about to be very dead if you don’t get your ass in gear.”
They all would be.
[redacted]’s gaze drifted back to the trees. “I recognize these. They’re Tuann.”
“Are they?” Gus asked, playing dumb.
[redacted]’s gentle tone wasn’t fooling her. This man was considering whether to kill her or not.
That was gratitude for you. Save a life. Get dead for your trouble.

Delightful is such a perfect word. I felt so delighted reading this snip. So excited to read more of it!

My first thought was Devin, then Talon. I can picture Talon talking this way. I can’t picture him being so emotional that he’d need to be sedated. I can’t picture Devin being this reasonable. Then there’s Jin. He is a distinct possibility.

And I had a feeling it is Graydon…

This is so much funnier now that we know who this is. Gus has such a different voice and mindset than Kira and Jin. It’s great to see the world through her eyes.
