Chapter 20
'He is not as scary as he looks!' luckily for Gil he didn't shout in their ear as the glare he was getting from Halt as it was could kill a normal person.
But rangers are not normal people, especially not Gil. (:))
The other three rangers however were just out of their training and saw the look Halt gave them and nearly died! I think I did!
Their eyes widened as Gil went on about his old master.
'So you see, nothing, nothing, is ever as it seems,' Gil finished off, very proud of himself. The apprentices were nearly backwards out of their chair at this last comment. All together a rather good turnout.
But then he remembered one of the stories that Will had told him. The one time, for example, when Will had told Halt of Crowley's hide out. (Book 5 I think)
Gil glanced up to see Halt's very impressed face looking back down at him. He looked back down to the apprentices. They were gone, the smart people. I might try that as well, he thought.
'Hiya Halt!' he called. Then stood up and started to try and run away. Only to fall on his face as Halt tripped him.
'Why were you explaining to the apprentices that I am not scary?' he asked him.
'Um. Because your not,' Gil really wanted to die at that point in time you see as he said this with a nah duh tone. Halt gave another death glare and continued.
'I was standing there for what must have been almost five minutes and you didn't notice me! How on earth did you pass?' asked Halt confused.
'I don't know. You were my teacher,' replied Gil.
'Oh yeah. We were short of rangers that year,' Halt replied.
'Let's go and see Will,' Halt tried to change the conversation. He could tell that this topic could get very interesting in the bad way if left to fester
