Chapitre 359: Right Where You Belong

~ SASHA ~

Nick stared at her, his face blank, but his eyes were dark with suspicion.

"Well, anyway," he said finally when she didn't add anything, "maybe we can do more questions later, huh? I need to understand what I can do and when, and how. And I want you to guarantee me that I'm not going to keep running into your eight-legged friend every time I turn around."

"Ernie doesn't live in the settlement," Sasha said, stifling a mischievous smile. "As long as you stay within the confines of the Village, you have nothing to worry about. You start wandering, though…"

Nick wasn't amused. "So tell me where you consider the boundaries to be. This whole place is in a forest. What's the village and what's… not?"

"I'm sure you'll figure it out," she said grinning.

That led to a frustrated Nick, needling her to give specifics and details, instructions on how and when he'd be allowed to walk freely, and whether he could approach Chimera.
