Summary
She swore under her breath and ran toward the closed door. Probably a bedroom. She drew her service pistol, took a deep breath, and forced the door open, ready to clear the threat from the room.
Two very naked people shouted at her from the bed and dorm instincts kicked in. "Sorry, sorry! I'll go! My bad!" She closed the door and backed away, sitting on a chair to catch her breath.
Booker had been tangled up with a woman, whose dark hair and sharp eyes were familiar. "Oh fuck right off," said Nile.

Summary
She gets it, okay? She gets it. She’s new and she’s young but guess what, she’s also a marine and she has saved their sorry immortal asses from being turned into lab rats on day one and she’s given up everything she has ever known.
You’d think that would warrant a bit of respect.
You can’t force someone to respect you, her sarge used to say, but you can refuse to be disrespected.
Well, then, she thinks as she rebraids her hair in perfectly aligned French plaits, now that she can do.Series

The door to the living room is closed.
It's an instant red flag for Nile as she enters the safehouse, bags of groceries in hand. There's an open door policy that remains in place when they're together. As numerous as their gifts are, they are yet to acquire the ability to see potential intruders through doors. Keep them open and you don't get a nasty surprise.
Then she hears a voice...

Summary
Whumptober Day 31:
The action clear, they were leaving Nicolò to rot in the heat of the desert sun.
“You cannot!” Yusuf shouted, voice desperate and raw. They couldn’t leave Nicolò, the poor man would be lost in the ever changing landscape of the desert. He tugged against the rough hemp rope bound tightly around his wrists, ignoring how it sloughed his skin with every vicious jerk. He ignored the bite of the sword against his throat and pleaded, “Even as a deadman you can still garner a ransom for him!”

Summary
Nile just wanted to know why Nicky, Joe and Andy kept betting each other about every damn thing. She makes the mistake of asking and they take great delight in weaving their tale with far more detail and diversions she ever thought possible.
She learns it is the phrase "You can do better than that" that produced many lively bets and challenges over the centuries. We go on a journey with starting with Nicky and Joe betting they can kill the other better, then evolving to basic survival techniques. Meeting Andy and Quynh brings an added challenge because after you live for a couple centuries there isn't much you haven't mastered. The bets continue through time with learning art in the renaissance, poetry with Shakespeare, music with Mozart and ends when they discover the english translation of the Kama sutra.
AKA living forever is boring so betting livens things up.

She wonders, as she watches Joe’s fingers intertwine with Nicky’s, whether she should warn Andy about what will shortly be happening in the house. In the end, she decides not to. It is sweet, really, she thinks, to be able to love someone so completely for that long. In her more sentimental moments, they are a bright spot of hope in a world that can be all too dark.
