"You might be right about that." Her lips curled up in a smug smile before she turned her full attention to me. “Hi, I'm Tiffany. Tiffany winner. "
"Grace." I turned around until I was face to face with her. Immediately her smile slipped a little. Well, the memory of my childhood, a long scar that ran across my mouth to my chin, she had apparently not noticed before. “Maybe we should all pull paper bags over our heads. After all, nobody here wants to sully your sensitive sensitivity to aesthetics. "
Her mouth stayed closed. It wasn't that she avoided my gaze, she just suddenly didn't seem to feel so comfortable in her skin anymore. Yes, something like that could happen if you made such a big mistake.
I didn't say anything else either, just fixed her for a few silent seconds and then walked past her to the counter, where the lady behind was on the phone with someone. As I stood next to Reese, I felt her gaze on my back and when he automatically put his arm around my
“Jilin's request surprised me a little. It is not exactly common to get reinforcements from other guilds for a comparably simple mission. ""We just want to make sure that the Iubas get to their destination without incident," I remarked a little pointedly. Now he couldn't ignore me anymore. "Hi, it seems you haven't noticed me yet, there is no other way I can explain your rude behavior. I am Grace Shanks, Venator Grace Shanks. "The look I got from Diccon Faust could only be seen as condescending. "Yes, very pleased," was all he said to me before turning back to Reese. "Is there any reason to believe that an incident might occur?"Why did he ask him the question now?"Not that we know of." Reese put his left hand back into his jacket pocket. I knew exactly that he was now holding his pack of cigarettes in his hand. But I also noticed how he gave me a look out of the corner of my eye. "But you can never have enough people who make sure that the proles do not p
He took his time with a reply. It was clear to him that this topic was quite delicate for me and that is why he only opened his mouth when we were halfway through the open-plan office and I wasn't even expecting an answer. "You should see them before we're cooped up with them in a van with them tomorrow.""I'm not sure it will make that much of a difference.""Believe me, it will be."Maybe, maybe not, just the prospect of seeing her right now, made my tension rise again. Not just because of what they'd done, but because of what they stood for. A shattered childhood, an orphan, the Venator's profession. It was only because of these proles that I became a Venator.When I was a little kid I always wanted to be a vet, or maybe a chimney sweep. Chimney sweeps brought luck and I liked the idea of bringing luck. Of course, I knew that these were a six-year-old's dreams, but without the events of that time, I wouldn't be who I was today.I couldn't tell if tha

So guys, two extra spicy currywursts and because it's so warm today, I'll give you a free lemonade on top.""Oh," Maddox said, taking his meal. At the promising smell alone, his stomach gave a very emphatic growl. “Eleanor, you are a real angel. If it wasn't for your husband, I would carry you straight to the back of my truck and express my gratitude. "Eleonore, the owner of the little snack bar on Hautstrasse, laughed heartily. “You old charmer. If only I were ten years younger. ""Put another ten up, you still wouldn't be safe from me."While Eleanor burst into ecstatic giggling, his partner Gian rolled his eyes and began systematically to devour his food.Even if Maddox gave the impression that he was not aware of the world around him, he did. Gian and everyone else in his life thought Maddox was a casanover who didn’t miss a rock and he did everything to maintain this image. Very few knew that he had no interest in women, but
Reese!"The screeching of the tires made my heart freeze in my chest for a moment, but Reese just kept rushing down the busy street and even ignored the indignant honking of the surprised motorists. A car braked so close that he brushed his black leather coat. The idiot didn't even register it. His gaze was solely on the Candir, who was rushing across the street with wide leaps.What a fool! Wasn't it he who taught me to have eyes and ears on a hunt anytime, anywhere? It almost seemed like he was going to kill himself!Horns, squeaks. An Audi couldn't stop in time and crashed into a Mercedes that barely braked before putting the Candir on the radiator.And what was Reese doing? He jumped at full speed on the hood, skidded over the metal, and just ran on on the other side.Damn it, this wasn't an action movie.I growled at something very rude, fasted my M19 harder, and sprinted down the sidewalk on this side of the street. I never let our pre
Fool," I hissed and then made my way to the man who in the meantime had managed to get on his feet, but was still able to avert his gaze from the Candir's carcass.Yes, even if there have been many people who have already had bad encounters with proles, there are still some who have so far been spared. And the way this man looked, he was probably one of those lucky ones - well, he had been until today.I walked over to him, leaned forward slightly, and studied his cheesy face. “Are you okay? Have you been hurt? "His gaze flicked to me and then back to the corpse. His tongue twitched nervously over his lips. "No," he said, shaking his head. "No, I ... everything is okay.""Are you sure? We can have an ambulance fetched so ... ""No, everything is fine." His eyes flickered to me again, only to then rush back to the candir. This man really seemed like someone who had previously been spared such cruelty."OK. Maybe you'd better sit down a
