Chione continued to chirp pleasantly, and Vesper reflected that she would have found this obnoxious any other day. Now, however, she didn’t mind even the overly bubbly company of the childish woman—though she would have been ashamed to be found like this by someone she knew, the horrendously scarred hybrid having teatime with such a silly stranger.

It was when she was thinking this, of course—of bloody course—that the whistle cut shrilly through the peaceful air. Vesper turned her head just as she recognized the dusky frame of the male coming unhurriedly toward them, grinning broadly and smugly. “Oh, that’s great—” the woman started, eyes widening, before Helotes bowed and greeted them cheerfully as you please.

Life. Hated. Her.

“Hello, Helotes,” the tawny woman said sweetly, though it was obvious from her tensed facial muscles and the added hiss at the end of his name that she wanted to kill him right now. He would have his fun bothering her, at least. Flicking an ear, she glanced over at the black and white girl, who greeted him just as pleasantly and invited him to tea as well.

Vesper threw her pack mate a look, and then she did as the loner insisted, settling down on the offered silk cushion and glancing at the teapot. There wasn’t really any point in storming off like a child; this stranger was being hospitable, and she was out this far from Inferni territory, so why not stay?

“What are you doing this far from the clan?” she asked the male conversationally, though she really did want to know the circumstances that were kicking her ass right now. Clearing her throat, she started to add, “Oh, this is—um—Chio—” What was the rest of that strange name? “Where are you from, again?” she asked the oriental female.
