Summary: Jacob gets blamed for leading Malek astray
Malek and Jacob sat side by side in the healing chambers. Elise stood there, hands on hips shaking her head at them. “You two… four,” she corrected. She looked at Jacob. “You are a bad influence on them.”
“Me??” Jacob spluttered.
“You,” Elise repeated. “Before Selmak blended with you Malek was never getting injured the way he does now.”
Malek smirked for an instant before she turned on him too.
“But now!” She shook her head. “If there is one tree in a hundred mile radius Jacob would be under it when it fell and you would be right along side him. Have you any idea what it is like to work here?” She paused. “There is a betting pool running as to what the next injury will be!”
Both men looked down sheepishly. “It is not always Jacob's fault,” Malek said speaking up for his friend. “This one was my fault entirely.”
Elise shook her head. “Because you were holding the ladder?” she asked.
Malek nodded.
Elise's eyes narrowed. “Well I can tell you that the two of you will personally be cleaning the floor and let me tell you that red paint… will not come out of the leather. Not easily anyway.” She grinned. “Or off your hands.”
