"You said assassin before. And assassins work for others. So someone sent her? And someone will send her again." She tailed off to almost murmur to herself. Her chin sank into her palm, gaze falling to the image of the ijiraq queen.
After a moment she spun the phone round. "Your number? My life has been full on weird lately, and you seem very au fait with weird." The crooked nature of her grin suggested it was not an insult, on the contrary. "Long forgotten lore. Is it all true then? Myth, I mean. I overheard you say you fight monsters."
