Her own doubts needn’t be fuelled further by the demon sharing her flesh. A reaction was the creature’s aim. To unsettle her, break her concentration, control, enough to let him do as he pleased. Aoife envied mages, like her sister, who had reached a compromise. Korr seemed uninterested, lending his power and knowledge only when he felt inclined, though continually denied by the Champion.
The switch in extremes caught Korr off-guard, his jovial mood plummeting to irritation. It perked up Leaf’s mood until trudging through the deluge quickly drowned all amusement. Leaf chuckled between shivers in the cold water, also not dressed for the sudden shift in weather, joking, [color=#0074d9]“And we hadn’t even pulled out the Rain Dance gear.”[/color]
As her eyes followed the water's direction, her face became increasingly grimmer. The water draining into the shafts of darktown would quickly cut off escape for many and Beth’s idea would surely buy them time.
