Eleanor chuckled and brought the splinter closer so Clara could have a look. Both ends were coated in golden blood that was already turning crimson. That was how the old gods remained hidden. Any evidence they left behind became indistinguishable from that of a human.
“What…funny?” Clara asked.
“The imagery that passed through your mind did not correspond with a fuck,” Eleanor said.She was tempted to say that fuck was a very versatile word, but she cracked a smile.
