Ning watched the men and women stare at him as if they were looking at an idiot. How else would one explain it?
"It sounds completely lunatic from the outside, I know, but do believe me when I say I thought things through before I made the choice."
The others had no more words to say.
A pair of footsteps approached the group, and a woman greeted them all. Ning turned in time to see the blonde woman turn to look at him as well. Her eyebrows raised more than normal.
"My! I didn't expect to meet my new colleague so soon," the woman said, putting out her hands for a shake.
Ning put on a smile. "Greetings, I'm Blackfang."
He firmly grasped her hand, giving her a good shake.
"Emily Brossin. Or you can call me Power Fist." She looked down at their hands. "Oh wow! That's a strong grip you got there. If not for the wards, I would've loved to see which one of us is stronger."
