And then suddenly there was Sasha in the doorway to the bar, having come from upstairs, staring across the room right where Nathan felt really unnerved to see the incubus’ attention go. He also noticed Alex beside Sasha, holding a rather squirmy Wally.
Pointedly, Nathan made eye contact with Alex and gave her what he hoped was an obvious ‘get the hell back upstairs’ message with his eyes. She nodded and took Wally with her. They had already decided that keeping Wally away from this guy was an absolute necessity unless they wanted him to figure out her secret and filet her for dinner. Nathan sort of wished he could give the same signal to Sasha, but he knew better than to think it would be that easy to keep the incubus out of harm’s way.
A moment later, Sasha was headed for their table, and doing a fine sight better at playing calm than Jim was. “So,” he said, pulling up a chair.
“Yeah,” Nathan said.
“You…okay?” Jim asked warily.
