The Firsts

Sharl sat comfortably near the bed, keeping an eye on Nix, who was inhabiting one of his Nether rats somewhere in the city. Floyd was tailing the twins while Milat and Sori were exploring Under-Seryndefi. It was her idea to stand watch over Nix; she felt he was too vulnerable while using puppets.

"I hope you appreciate this." Sharl smiled at the closed eyes of the Inferno guild leader. "You should be thankful I'm not Ronnie. There's no telling what she would do in this situation."

She replayed the message that Nix had sent to all the officers. Her experience with Shank and the twins was limited; she was confident that all three of them would recognize her. When she was the guild leader of the Daybreakers, her image was always on the forums. Finding the chair uncomfortable, she sat next to him on the bed.
