Time: May 6th, 2001
Status: Private, Sphix, Loki, (Anathema and/or Gabriel, if they want to)
Setting: The hospital wing
Summary: Sphix goes to see Loki



Sphix sneaked up the stairs, ready to flee at any sign of the inspector. The route to the hospital had never seemed quite as long, and twice she was about to turn back and just go, leave this place and her acquaintances behind. The reasons for her detour in the hospital still stood, however, and besides, he was just one inspector. While one never knew with humans, not for certain, changes were she would win any direct confrontation. As far as she knew, the police in this country wasn't in the habit of carrying guns.

The sphinx opened Loki's door, careful to make as little noise as possible, and slipped into the room. Once in, she suddenly didn't know what to say. She rarely had any reason for farewells, anyway. She nodded at the god, hand still on the door handle. This had to be quick.

Is this thread closed? I thought that Shpinx would reply, sorry.

Anathema stared blankly at him. "Police? What police?"

I was supposed to answer, but I couldn't decide what Sphix should do.

"What police?" the sphinx repeated. "What police! Why, the sort of police who go about locking people up for no good reason. Is there any other kind?" She glared at Anathema. "I would have thought you, of all people, could puzzle it out. But, as it happens, I don't have time for this sort of things right now. Farewell, both of you."¨

Sphix flashed both the god and the mortal a quick smile and left, slamming the door shut after her. She felt a slight tinge of sadness when she headed towards the nearest window. There was no point in procrastinating any longer, though; she had to go, disappear before the officer found her.

At least for now.
