"You're late" he growled.
"Am I?" asked Puck in a wry, camp tone. While saying this he had put Harvey's clock back half an hour. He asked him to check his phone again. Harvey knew Puck's tricks and was too agitated to find it funny.
"Did you bring all of them?" he asked, still talking as though he loathed Puck's company. The Fey made him nervous, although he never would admit it.
Puck handed Harvey a small neat metallic box - it had no visible lid or latch.
"There are two inside", he said, stepping back a few paces waiting for the roar.
"What-do-ya mean only two?" Harvey spat.
"These two are enough - you can tell them they are the best that I have."
And with that he disappeared without waiting for a thank you - which never would have been given, as Trolls have no manners whatsoever.
