"I had no idea that there was some kind of unspoken rule!" Bruce let out an angry huff, hands balling into fists. He had to calm himself before he spoke again. "Please. I need to stay in the city.
I'm trying to find my son."

"Too bad, so fucking sad, boo hoo." Babylon snorted bitterly.

Bruce was nearly shaking with anger. "Please," he said, forcing each word out, "I fucked up, but I want to make amends. Give me a hand here."

The devil frowned. "I have no obligation to help you. I've got my own problems to worry about."

The blond turned to Miles. "What about you?"

Miles was a hard man to read, but his blue rat on the other hand wasn't. It was still hissing. And it was the one that had no qualms about taking lives.
".....also be thankful this isn't Denver." Miles said cryptically before moving on. "You want your second chance? Fine. Your second chance and your only chance. And the first thing you should do is learn the rules. There is no free ride here."

Bruce sighed, visibly relaxing. He nodded to Miles. "Thank you." The wanderer ran a hand through his hair, slowly calming down. "All right. Let's just start over." He cracked a smile and extended his hand to Miles. "My name's Bruce Hollister. Roamer, wanderer, nomad, vagabond, call me what you will."

"I am Miles Quincy, the true power behind Night City." Miles shook his hand with his left one.

Babylon said nothing, scowling. Unless he was ordered to, he wasn't about to make nice with this human.

Bruce then turned to the devil, offering him a handshake. "How about you, horns? What do they call you?"

The devil's glass eyes narrowed, and he did not take the man's hand. "They call me The Sinner. You haven't earned the privilege of knowing me on a named-basis, human."

"Well, perhaps I can earn that privilege soon, Sinner." Bruce nodded to the shadowy beast at his side. "This is Tepeyollotl. He's a 765-year-old chimera."
"Hello," Tepe muttered. It wasn't ready to be cheerful with these people yet. The memory of last night was still in its pea-sized brain.

Babylon showed no interest either way. Chimeras were chimeras. Humans were humans.

And the blue rat in Miles's lap was hissing either way.

Bruce shrugged. "What do I do now?"
