“You know, Theodore won’t thank you for bringing more Grimm to his city,” Slate said. “Or an old man who attracts them.”

“I think the headmaster will be fascinated by Edward, and understand why we brought him. And there are more than enough Huntsmen in the city and at the Academy to defend Vacuo.”

“Isn’t that what you thought about Beacon?” Bertilak said.

The anger flared up in Yatsuhashi faster than he could swallow it. He threw a punch at Bertilak, but the Huntsman saw the blow coming and leaned away so his fist only scored a glancing hit.

“Yeah! I’ve been waiting for this.” Bertilak gestured Yatsuhashi forward. Yatsuhashi lunged for him, but Velvet grabbed his arm.

“Yatsu! No!” she said.

“He has it coming,” Yatsuhashi growled.

“Yatsuhashi, stand down. Right now we need to fight the Grimm, not each other,” Coco said. “When everyone’s safe, you can sort this out with Bertilak—but you’ll have to take a number.”

“I’m ready anytime,” Bertilak said.
