definitely hit the
spot.
    “So, what do we
talk about now that all the sly flirting has been put aside?” She
winked.
    Tremble
grinned. “I suppose that we will have to engage in innuendo and
seduction from now on.”
    “Ohh, seduce
me. That would be different. Usually, I am in the mood and I just
find a target.” She waggled her eyebrows.
    Smith put his
hand on her thigh under the table and slowly moved it to her groin.
He held her for a moment before his fingers began flicking
randomly. That had an effect.
    She focused on
her sandwich, and when it was gone, she said, “I hope that the rest
of the night doesn’t involve mages. It feels so weird.”
    Tremble nodded.
“You’re telling me. I couldn’t get through that ward and that is
unusual.”
    “It was
demon-based. We have different rules, and since you haven’t had
time to study yet, you won’t know them. Scholar.”
    Argyle had
healed from his scuffle with the undead. “What was I again?”
    She leaned over
and stroked his cheek. “You were all warrior.”
    Smith looked at
her with a slow smile. “Me?”
    “Hello,
lover.”
    He looked
extremely pleased with that.
    They paid their
bill and got to their feet. They only had enough time for a dinner
break. Benny got the feeling that there was more to come.
    Back in the
car, she found their next destination. “Back to the docks. Someone
has caught a mermaid in a net, and folks are drunk and abusive. We
have to rescue the damsel and get her back in the water.”
    Smith hit the
gas, and she answered the notice with an affirmative that they were
on their way.
     
    On hour later,
Benny was covered in mer-slime and wishing that she had let Smith
grapple with the flailing mermaid. Benny sighed and flicked the
coating off her arms.
    Argyle grinned.
“This is why we bring a change of clothing.”
    She glared at
him and looked at Smith. “Can you go to that convenience store and
get me a canister of bleach wipes?”
    He nodded.
“Back in a minute.”
    Smith trotted
across the street, and she heard him chuckling the moment he
thought he was out of earshot.
    She sighed and
checked to make sure her butt hadn’t gotten any of the slime.
    Argyle leaned
next to her. “So, how are you enjoying being an active agent?”
    She ran her
hands up and over her breasts then flicked the mermaid slime a few
feet away. Tremble was still speaking with those who had captured
the bitchy mermaid because she had wrecked a local bar.
    The slime
creature in question was being hauled toward XIA holding as they
spoke.
    “It has its
moments. This is one of them.”
    He chuckled.
“You are handling it well. The first time I grappled with a
mermaid, she got away.”
    “The lake maids
have always been cranky. It must come with being unable to have
sex.”
    Smith came back
brandishing the wipes. Benny took them gratefully and started to
get the worst of the coating off herself.
    When she had
amassed a large collection of spent wipes, she was down to being
damp all over. “Pretend you didn’t see this.”
    She summoned a
ring of cleansing fire that started at her boots and flared upward
with a smooth spread. Her hair fluffed out again, and she felt
clean.
    Smith sighed.
“Why didn’t you just do that? I didn’t have to get the wipes.”
    Tremble filled
him in. “Mermaid slime can short out magic. We are also being
watched by a few locals. Watching her flare into flame might have
caused more problems than it solved.”
    Smith nodded.
“Oh. I have never had to deal with one before.”
    Argyle
chuckled. “Thanks to Benny, you didn’t have to deal with one today.
It would have locked you in human form for two or three days.”
    Benny asked,
“Don’t you have to take a test or something regarding other
species?”
    Smith shrugged.
“We all specialise. Tremble knows more about stuff because he is
simply so old.”
    Benny looked at
him and smiled. “Would you have an objection to learning?”
    A slow spark
bloomed in his gaze. “Would
