The Snake Pit

Nix sat quietly in the Parliament Guild Office, reading two dockets that Semmi had marked for him. A knock on the door interrupted his thoughts. He sighed heavily when he recognized the dark blonde hair. "Of all the days to visit..."

"Tura Raine Xai," Nix stated her name calmly but didn't attach a greeting to it.

"Greetings Guild Leader Nix, you're an awfully difficult person to track down."

"That's by design mostly, no offense but I find the dhassi to be a bit ass-ish..."

Unexpectedly she laughed at his words, it was only for a moment but the bit of mirth completely collapsed Nix's opinion that she was a stone-cold ass. "That is certainly true. If you aren't busy I'd like to speak with you."

"I'm busy..." Nix widened the door a bit and stepped to one side. "I can spare five minutes."

Nix took a seat at his desk but turned the chair around so that it was facing the couch. "Have a seat."
