En Smakebit På Søndag #21

Nå for tiden leser jeg YA-serien Revenats skrevet av Amy Plum. Serien består av tre hovedbøker og to tilleggs-historier fortalt av en annen karakter enn hovedbøkene. Jeg har lest de tre hovedbøkene og holder nå på med den første tilleggs-fortellingen: Revenants 2,5. Det er denne fortellingen jeg nå vil dele hele to smakebiter fra.

Første smakebit (fra kapittel tre):

I'm heading up the stairs to my bedroom after a full hour of working out in the armory. Gaspard walks out of the sitting room and, seeing me, stops in place under the chandelier. "Must you insist on walkin around the house naked, Jules? It makes me feel like I'm living in some kind of sordid fraternity house."

"I'm not naked", I say, pointing to the towel around my waist.

"A towel does not count as clothing", Gaspard chides.

"Whatever you say", I respond, and, yanking off the towel, drape it over my shoulders like a scarf. 

Gaspard shakes his head mournfully and wanders off toward the kitchen, mumbling, "I am living with cretins". 

Andre smakebit (fra kapittel ti):

"Why do these smell like an outhouse?" I ask, holding up an old, crinkled parchment covered with scrawling in Latin. Gaspard, Vincent, and I are in the library combing through old documents that smell like they were left out in the rain and then shut up in an airtight box.

"Because they were not properly cared for before they came into my possession," Gaspard replies curtly. "Just look for the words 'tenebris via'. You don't have to try to read the whole thing." He's more on edge than usual, probably because he's got two library neophytes handling his priceless documents.
