Bela was waiting for them by the time they approached the Ton home. It was a nice two-story house with white stucco walls and a red tile roof. Mrs. Ton was a petite woman with dark hair and an easy smile. At first, Nix couldn't see the slightest resemblance between mother and daughter, but when the younger woman introduced herself, it was there in her smile.
Bela gave her husband a quick kiss before hugging her mother. The brunette turned her eyes toward their visitor. "Nice to finally meet you Nix." She grabbed both his hands in hers and squeezed them warmly.
"Same here, Hyai has been wanting to visit you for some time." Nix handed her a box of Tailored goods, "these are for you and Bane."
Bela accepted the box with an easy smile. "Thank you Nix, please make yourself at home."
Hyai and her daughter disappeared into another room, leaving Nix alone with Bane. The big man glanced at the side door that led to their small courtyard. "Chiba is out there."
