Chapter 223: Summerlands

Pux popped from Renny’s purse, his arms folded across the zipper as he stared at the others, his beard hanging down past the edge of the purse and over his arms. “I wouldn’t dawdle. Demons are right nasty buggers.”

“Oh, my, a gnome,” Wanda said as she clasped her hands together, walking over to Renny. “I’ve always wanted to see gnomes.” She leaned down, her eyes even with Pux’s. “Aren’t you just the cutest thing? Would you like a cookie?”

“I am not cute!” Pux shouted as he pounded the zipper of Renny’s purse.

“I said he was cute when I first saw him as well,” Renny said with a chuckle as Wanda started walking away to a shelf in the back that survived the demon’s attack. “He acted the same way then, too.”

“Oh, joy, gnomes,” Ohlin said, his expression one of disgust.
