252 Raising Inferno (conclusion)

Bali and Ronnie followed Nix and his Che friend. The bespectacled ferret-man was friendly and easy to talk to.

Ronnie lowered her voice and whispered. "Now's a good time to bring up the 3-ways."

Bali stared at her for a moment, her pale face turning pink. "What? I'm not saying that!"

"Really?" The dark archer shot her a confused look. "Hey Nix, they have these paired artifacts that enable instant travel between two points up to 800 meters. They look like floormats that you place on the ground. Step on one and appear on the other."

Nix glanced at Halla who only shrugged. "If there are two points, then why call them 3-ways?"

"They are called 2-ways actually." Bali interrupted. "Ronnie keeps messing it up."

Ronnie smiled at the tiny ranger. "3-way sounds better. Who knew you were so uptight?"

"3-way does sound better," Nix agreed.
