Nhysa had no real inclination to follow the woman, though she could feel the darkness tugging at her ankles and knew better than to resist her companion’s suggestions. Memories curled like shadows in a way that tugged a faint smile to her lips. She was about to respond to Li’s murmurings when the interruption of a message drew her brows low; an unexpected intrusion, at least so soon, though when its decidedly menial nature became clear she rolled her eyes as she slipped the device back in her pocket. Messenger had never exactly been a feature on her resume; they were treating her with kid gloves, like the damn wound on her stomach made her fragile.
Still, a job was a job. Nhysa might consider it a task beneath her, but she did not question.
And she only briefly considered the darkness’s penance for ignoring its call.
“Duty calls. Apparently the plan is to ease me in gently.” Her lips twitched into a smirk. “But let’s not leave it so long next time. Can I call you?”
