Hearing her name, she lowered her gaze to see Lanias and Tiller had already reached the end of the lobby. She quickly made her way after them, ignoring a bit of embarrassment for getting absorbed with flying male. She quickly entered the elevator maintaining her neutral expression.
“You’ll have to forgive me, while I did invite you to come here it was more of a test to see how far you trusted me,” Tiller explained, his back to both of them.
Oye frowned, “Whether we trusted you or not, we’d still come. There is little your building can do to keep us here," she said. Completely ignoring the warning glare Lanias sent her. “I mean, it isn’t like we need magic to knock you out.”
She flinched at the kick Lanias aimed at her ankle.
“At least I don’t.” she muttered.
Tiller glanced over his shoulder at her, quirking a brow. “It would seem your subordinate is very confident in her skills.”
“Well, she does have a point,” Lanias said smoothly, feigning a demure air. “I trust her with my life.”
Hearing this, Oye looked at her in both surprise and embarrassment. She covered it with a cocky grin. “Thanks boss.”
Rolling her eyes, Lanias added. “But that’s it, she’s usually the least able to control her excitement when dealing with certain individuals. If I had to ask her to fix one thing, it would be to allow a few to run away.”
Tiller’s tail flicked, catching both Lanias and Oye’s attention. “Ah, then I think she will get along with Castian. He shares the same issue.”
“Like hell I will,” Oye muttered under her breath, the elevator dinged at the right moment covering her words. The door opened, the first thing they saw was a window giving them a view of the south part of Veil City.
“You took us out of the building,” Lanias observed aloud. “I thought you trusted us?”
Tiller scoffed. “No, I do not trust you.”
“Good, you shouldn’t,” Lanias said as she passed him by as she entered the hallway. “To my knowledge the meeting room is this way.”
Tiller ears flattened, as he watched her navigate her way through a building she’d never been to.
Oye walked up to his side, and patted him on the shoulder.
“Don’t worry, I’ve known her since I was a kid, and she still surprises me.” She chuckled, as she followed behind her cousin. Though her stomach was in knots at the thought of seeing the warlock again, Oye refused to show any of her thoughts outwardly. She had already lost sleep thinking about the man.
She spotted someone she wasn’t expecting to see standing at the end of the hallway. “Sabina?”
Sabina, who’d just been glommed on by Lanias, offered a small wave. “Hey, I thought you guys were coming later. Raijin said he’d tell me when you two showed up so that we could have a few minutes to hang out. It’s also the first time you two have visited me since I moved in.” She offered them both knowing looks.
Lanias avoided her gaze as she let her go. “You really thought I’d hang out here? I’m above brick and chrome decorating darling.”
Sabina made a face at Lanias, “Right, because the fourth floor isn’t chrome and white.”
“Right,” Lanias offered her a mischievous wink. “White and chrome.”
Shaking her head at her sister’s foolishness, she turned her attention to Oye. “And you?”
Shrugging, Oye clicked her tongue thoughtfully. “I don’t do the authorities.” She smirked, motioning her chin towards the room at the end of the hall. “And your mate happens to be the leader. Sorry.”
“Really? You guys didn’t let me being married to a human dick prevent you from visiting me,” Sabina complained.
“But that dick wasn’t tied to the council,” Oye said smartly, the door behind them opened. “Oh, seems like it’s time to meet the dicks that are inside.”
Sabina frowned at her. “I can’t stand you; you know that.”
“Don’t worry, the feelings are only going to get worse when we have to blow our way out of there. And it’s better this way, you’re not caught in the middle of us and them,” Oye added as she walked past her into the room.
Lanias gave Sabina’s shoulder a soft squeeze. “She’s right, you know.”
With that she followed Oye inside, where they were greeted with the full Calvary. The top four members of Jackal filled the room.
