I was waiting with Yaffe. We had to wait hours longer than I expected before Ronan showed up. The strange thing was how he looked directly at me; something in his gaze connected with me.
We were still outside the Temple of Urd. She wouldn't let Ronan in after his last break-in attempt. I wouldn't allow that either. So he sat next to me and Yaffe around that table that quickly became a mess filled with food.
"We don't have much time. In a few hours, I won't be able to track our target." (Ronan)
"I see you're joining us, Deadly Serpent." (Ronan)
"Just call me Yaffe. I'm getting paid for being here." (Yaffe)
"Since when do you accept anything for payment?" (Ronan)
"Since I found a perfect place to set up my laboratory and a sublime individual to sink my teeth into." (Yaffe)
"Please, no Hades-bashing around me..." (me)
"How about we get back to planning?" (me)
