Hello, Snippetteers! — sorry for the long absence, I’m only now getting back to writing and my last couple of weekends can be found in the Urban Dictionary under the definition for “chaos.” But I’m back! (And I’m registered for GRL in October, as a Supporting Author, but hoping to upgrade because I l-o-o-o-o-v-e doing readings!)
This weeks snippet is part of a conversation between Josh and Conall; they’re trying to figure out what to do about Tiernan’s nephew, Maelduin, who has come through the Pattern to take revenge for his father’s death (his father being Tiernan’s brother, for which murder Tiernan was exiled to the human world to begin with). The first speaker below is Conall.

“I’m guessing this is what Aine was warning us about, in the message that came back through the Pattern.”
“‘Guard the Guardian,’ you mean.”
Conall nodded. It would have been nice if the ancient Loremaster could have been a bit more forthcoming, but no use trying to put the lightning back in the cloud. “She must have known our new friend was coming through. And if she saw fit to warn us, one way or another he’s definitely going to be a thorn-ball under Tiernan’s scrotum.”

Welcome back! Intriguing scenario you’ve set up here!
Yes, the message could have been a bit more specific… (Isn’t Maelduin the one who is dangerously clumsy?)
Yes, that’s him!
Thorn-ball under the scrotum eh? Priceless
No idea what a thorn-ball is, but ouch, I guess the clue is in the name.
Interesting set up and that last line surely paints a picture.
LOL, ouch…nice visual there at the end!
Ooh! There’s nothing worse than a thorn-ball under the scrotum.
