Chapter 1124: Nilla
Once their drinks were empty, Cindy went and ordered one more mulled blood wine to go, and the group returned to the Alliance compound.
Rae visibly relaxed once they were out of the direct sun, as she could [Shadow Step] nearly anywhere in the compound, thanks to the directional lighting used. The others thought that she was just happy to be back home, but those with more attuned senses knew her happiness was that of a predator back on its own territory.
Rae spotted the vampire in question looking out his window and sniffing. He had clearly noticed that someone was bringing him a drink, so Rae went to recover him.
The startled squeak that he made when she [Shadow Stepped] into his room and then grabbed him to bring him outside made Reggie laugh, but Cindy was struggling not to facepalm.
"Nilla, this is Lady Rae, the Leatherworker and tailor who is making everyone’s new armour. She has the same favourite drink that you do." Marcus offered, as Cindy was fighting hard not to drop the drink.
"It’s a pleasure to meet you, Lady Rae. I must say, your movement skills are exceptional. I didn’t even notice you enter until you grabbed me.
But Marcus, how many times have I asked you not to call me Nilla?"
The mage shrugged. "You smell like cookies."
"That’s not something that a man wants to hear. And now the Lady Rae is looking at me like she would like to taste me."
