Kolt didn't have time for the bickering with Offet. Why did the most difficult guard have to be on duty! "Offet. Let me through."
"Nah...." He said pulling out an piece of scrimshaw. "Ye ain't gotta see him tonight."
Kolt whirled away angrily. The fires were constantly in labile. He didn't have much time left! He was sure there were less fires than before.
He moved just out of Offet's reach and broke into a run, dodging the Offet's scrimshaw as he cried "Eh! Git back here!" The clang of the bell broke out behind him.
Great. He hoped he could get to Yorvet before he was tackled to the ground. Kolt ducked and dodged headed for the center tent. Come on. Being a human for a night would be a welcome change.
Labile -readily or frequently changing.
Added Info - We are confident that you won't slip up or err in learning today's word, despite its etymology. "Labile" was borrowed into English from French and can be traced back (by way of Middle French labile, meaning "prone to err") to the Latin verb labi, meaning "to slip or fall." Indeed, the first sense of "labile" in English was "prone to slip, err, or lapse," but that usage is now obsolete. Other labi descendants in English include "collapse," "elapse," "prolapse," and simply "lapse."
