Kolt dove through the tent doors, rolling before coming up on his feet, lunette blade in hand, though he couldn't remember drawing it. "I'm here." He said tersely.
Yorvet didn't look up from his desk, shuffling papers around. "About time."
"I made it before the fires went out."
Yorvet snorted, glancing up at him with a raised eyebrow.
Kolt bared his teeth, sheathing the knife. "I'm not an idiot, I know you left them lit."
Yorvet flashed a smile. "Do you always sound so atrabilious, Kolt?"
"Yes."
"It doesn't work for you."
"Most things don't apparently."
Atrabilious -1: given to or marked by melancholy : gloomy 2: ill-natured, peevish.
Added Info -"Atrabilious" is a somewhat rare word with a history that parallels that of the more common "melancholy." Representing one of the four bodily humors, from which it was once believed that human emotions originated, "atrabilious" derives from the Latin atra bilis, literally meaning "black bile." The word "melancholy" derives from the Greek melan- and chole, which also translates as "black bile." In its original sense, "atrabilious" meant "melancholy," but now it can also be used to secribe someone with an irritable or unfriendly temperament.
