Ticktania grunted, winced at Scythe's claim of being spotted. Must have been that hat. The man was unseeable on a good day.

Yeah, had to be the hat.

"Right. Meet me at the South Courtyard, I've located a couple of wanderers. We deal with Yankee later."

Well, that was unexpected. The knife caught him so off guard that it wasn't very hard to keep him pinned to the wall, his balance mostly compromised.

She was so terribly close to him. If it was anyone else, he might have enjoyed it.

Niccy AND Lance.

Author-Grimn, Nix was out for his blood too!?

He grit his teeth and blew out a breath through his nose. Sandra was lying. She had to be. Nix wouldn't do something like that to him.

But... what if she wasn't lying?

What if Nix... what if their banter, their closeness was just a ruse on her end, one more person trying to twist the knife into Yankee? For all he knew, Nix could have been in league with Sandra for the whole of their knowing each other, pulling his strings, just like everyone else.

The Yankee seethed for a few moments, trains of thought launching off the rails at dangerous speeds in his heads.

Wait.

Breathe.

Calm.

This is what Sandra does, this is what she wants, this is what she's good at. She's trying to get in your head.

She may be telling the truth, but that doesn't matter. You win if you can keep your cool.

The Yankee was ready to go on the offensive. It was time for HIM to mess with HER head, do something SHE didn't expect.

He didn't really condone his own plan, but... at the very least, it would buy him an exit.

Moving more quickly than he had ever before, he drew Sandra in yet closer with one hand...

... and kissed her. It was a heavy, comitted kiss, and for a breif second he realized that Sandra -- like it or not -- was quite good at kissing.

He savored it just long enough to confuse her, before wrenching the blade from the wall, freeing his shirt and running as fast as his legs could carry him through the nearest series of doors and windows.

That was so stupid.

And so brilliant.

He was gonna find Nix, probably have to shoot her, and then he'd go to Fort Pew and enjoy a drink.

Maybe not in that order.

Fort Nix first.
