Chapter 103: Revisiting the Hub

Dawn eased in quietly, the soft sound of surf charging up the beach before retreating gracefully while the warm sun slowly pushed back the chill of night. Nix licked his lips, his mouth felt like it had grown fur. A soft body next to him snuggled closer and so he decided to put off waking for a bit longer.

Soft, wet kisses on his face woke him up the second time, he opened one eye, finally noticing that he was sleeping outside. Ducky's smiling face was staring down at him.

"Morning Ducky."

She was in her Siren form and so answered easily. "Welcome back Nix. We really missed you."

"Where's Morti?" Nix moved a stray red hair out of his face, Shae was still sound asleep.

Ducky seemed confused by the question. "You are sleeping on him."
