"You tricked us!" said Ariel, sounding outraged. She quickly switched to English, looking at Inez as if she wished to drown her in the said glass sand.
Yes, they had been tricked. Inez had suggested that no one should reveal that she could understand their language. This way, they would speak freely without any worries, as they would be under the belief that no one could understand them. "Not really smart, are you? To be played by dumb shifters like us." She asked them in English, paraphrasing their remarks about Killian and the shifters. The witches narrowed their eyes.
Killian turned to Laxus and said to him, "Bring in the funnel." Laxus obligingly retrieved two funnels from the tool shelves. Inez had no idea if they were just props to scare them or if Killian truly intended to use them. Given that Killian was not particularly sane and was quite unhinged, and he had watched the entire pack almost getting burnt to death, she had a feeling that it was the latter.
