McCree gently lifts Sombra’s chin with his metal-fire hand and takes his cigar back with the other, his deep honey-brown eyes roving all over her face and well-fit leather clothing. He stops at her white-gold irises and sighs, “Sure is a shame I don’t flirt with demons.”
“Sure is lucky that I’m not a demon,” Sombra replies, her heart suddenly thumping in her chest at his touch.
“So. Your employer’s workin’ with mine.” McCree is first to break the heavy silence between them on their short journey to Shimada Castle. The road has not yet cleared, but Sombra walks in plain sight; she has already vetted this crowd, and the only locals remaining are the sort who either won’t find her alarming or wouldn’t say anything even if they did. There are always a few on these cases. Demons aren’t the only beings who enjoy the shadows.
This is her second night here, but her first approaching the castle. She knows that the demons infesting the estate will sense another living being the moment they step on the property, and a being with her particular energy would draw too much attention before she’s ready. They have to be smart about this.
“Aw, look at you, playing detective,” she replies in as bored a voice as she can. This question has plagued her since they left the tavern, but McCree doesn’t need to know that. She’ll let him supply what he knows.
“Both of us, here, hired to do this now? Splittin’ the targets? That’s awful convenient, don’t you think?”
Another great chapter – I’m loving the incorporation of Moira and Mercy, too! But of course, my favorite just has to be how McCree and Sombra interact. I totally want them to keep this sort of bantering up because it’s sooo good…but there’s just a huge chunk of me that’s also going
Can’t wait until the next chapter and the glorious introduction of the Shimada brothers!
