A small bit of relief washed over Lidia hearing the request. Slimo nodded his head.
"My queen, I was not aware that you have a right hand. Who should I be looking for to follow?"
"Oh? I was sure you have already met him. He told me that he had shown you all to your house. His name is Pops. Pretty funny name, right?"
Slimo hesitated before answering.
"We know him."
"Very good! As I said before, I just need you to stop him from killing people. He happens to have a very bad habit of that. I know he can't help it, but I can't have my people fearing for their lives. You understand, I'm sure. We wouldn't want a killer running on the loose, wouldn't we Slimo?"
Slimo couldn't help but feel she was purposefully prodding at something when she said these words. He took a moment to compose himself before answering.
"No. We wouldn't."
The queen studied his expression curiously before continuing.
