“Isaiah coughed. "You watched Quinlan for one night."
"Ten hours, to be exact. Right until her pet chimera just appeared next to me at dawn, bit me in ass for looking like I was dozing off, and then vanished again - right back into the apartment.

Yet Lehabah remained at the foot of the stairs. 'Then let the world know that my first act of freedom was to help my friends.”
