"That's not your responsibility," Rida said. Every time she had an extended conversation with him, her voice seemed to near a growl. She'd only taken him fishing because nobody else wanted him, and fishing conveniently required silence. "Your responsibility is to do as you're told, and not to fall asleep when you're doing it, so you'd better get your ass in a bag before it ends up dead in a ditch tomorrow."
Now, death threats she only did when Daylily wasn't there to scold her. And she knew that Daylily fell asleep fast, and stayed asleep tenaciously. At first, it had been fun watching a former-brat scrambling about in erratic panic, but that had gotten old. Now, it was a matter of keeping him just productive enough to keep, and only because she didn't want to look like a tyrant by kicking him out.
