Summary: behind the scenes with the advisors - Jasper is looking for words that rhyme with 'fence'


"Guys! Guys, I have an important logistical question!"

Eldrow sighed and drummed his fingers on the desk. Zorax looked up and growled, "What is it - decided to actually be a competent advisor instead of pulling answers out of your..."

"For someone who answers randomly, he has really good luck!" chimed up Jade.

"I don't answer randomly, I pass on what the Goddess inspires me to say in her visions," insisted Jasper, "Now, help me out - what rhymes with 'fence'?"

"Sense. Which you don't have," muttered Eldrow.

"Defence!" Jade snapped her fingers, "Then you can make a pun about 'building de fence'..."

"And then maybe Eadric will execute him for his crimes against humanity. Good thinking, Jade," Zorax sneered.

"You're one to lecture someone else about crimes against humanity, Zorax. You do know its me who has to clean up all the mess you make, right?"

"I know - tense. If the situation's tense, you should build another fence," said Jasper, scribbling down notes in the gaudy-covered notebook he kept with him it all times, "Or maybe 'wood is cheap at fifty pence..."

"The worrying thing is," Eldrow sighed, "He has the highest success rate out of us all."
