With my right fist I drew a figure in the air, one that my sensei once described as peanut shaped. It was designed to distract and mesmerize an attacker. I hoped it would work when there was more than one.
“Who taught you that?” the taller man asked. “One of your lovers?” The way he said it I could tell he was hoping to upset Tessa by implying she was not my only paramour. She ignored his taunt and pulled out a blowgun, and moments later both the tall man and his little buddy were on the floor, not moving.
“They’re not dead, are they?” I asked. I wasn’t sure how Fleur would feel about that sort of thing on her airship.
Tessa smirked. “Not unless either one of them is allergic to the spider venom coursing through his veins now. Or any of the other five kinds of tranquilizers.”
She’d dosed them both with mime juice. I shuddered. You can take the girl out of the invisible box…
“I wonder who sent them,” she said.
“I know how we can find out. Help me drag them over to those polarizing candy cane striped couches flanking the altar, and when they wake up–”
Tessa finished my thought. “We’ll polarize them.”
