“That’s why I’ll be there.” Izzy looked to Cerasus, wondering herself [i]how[/i] Riley planned to negotiate with those three. "Monsters" was certainly a good fit for them. “Or at least somewhere nearby. You heard him. He doesn’t deal in causes or results. [i]That[/i] part’s up to us.” She glanced to Riley almost for confirmation of the statement. 
	Her shoulders slumped when he said that he did not have much of a plan, but at least now she hoped his head would be in it. Three was better than two. Her brow rose at the thought of him simply asking the hunters for what he wanted.
	“The game?” she said with Cerasus, only with a wary tone. “What game is that?”
	Her eyes narrowed at how easy he made the task of separating the three sound, but she nodded her agreement all the same, not wanting to risk losing his aid. She exhaled when he said it would take a risk on their parts, as if it had not done so already. She opened her mouth to say she had expected nothing less with the way the night had gone so far, but it snapped closed and formed into a snarl when Cerasus did it for her. His action and being called his servant made a rage seethe in her stomach.
	“[i]Excuse me?[/i]” she hissed through clenched teeth, but Riley continued the conversation with his reply to Cerasus. It took a couple sentences before she turned her glare from him to look to Riley as he spoke.
	“Good,” she growled. “Then what’re we waiting for?” She started toward the exit, eager to put more distance between her and Cerasus than that which the middle of the room to the corner provided. “We have hunters to go track.”
