“I would,” she replied in the same tone, “but I don\u2019t want to deal with the backlash. It\u2019s \/very\/ tempting, though.” Her eyes glittered, as she gazed around at the Fae. “Is this how humans are normally treated, or am I a special case?” she asked them.<\/p>\n

“If this is normal, you might want to rethink your attitudes.” A quick hand gesture threw a drift of fire in their faces, forcing them back. “We don\u2019t all need the protection of one of yours.” Turning to Vex, she said, quite clearly, “Take me out of here, will you? I\u2019m sure there must be more folk like you elsewhere, and I don\u2019t want to get my costume dirty.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The Mesmer nodded at Summer\u2019s words. She was right, permission granted or not, there were always repercussions for these kind of things. \u201cVery well,\u201d he said quietly, letting her speak to the people who\u2019d tried to assault her. They were Fae, and a nasty breed too, but they were clearly afraid of the woman, not to mention that she was paired with Vex for sides; they had every right to be afraid of this situation. They\u2019d made a very wrong move. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Vex nodded in agreement with her request when she had turned to look at him. \u201cAlright, love,\u201d he agreed, taking her by the hand to lead her away from the scene. He took her towards a staircase, and then led her up the steps to an upstairs. Opening the first door, he stretched and nodded at it. \u201cPrivate lounge. Very limited guests.\u201d There were a couple Fae lounging in the area, and a couple humans that Vex knew very well. He took a seat, sprawling on the leather sofa that nobody accompanied. \u00a0\u201c\u2018Ave a seat, Summer.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Throwing herself into the leather beside him, Summer gave a prolonged shudder. “Look, I know they’re your people and all, but that kind of thing is why the Unseelie have a bad rep. Did nobody ever tell them that? I feel like a gnat that somehow escaped the spider’s web. Or possibly a mouse getting away from the Cheshire cat.” She put her face in her hands for a moment.<\/p>\n

“Should’ve just fucking smacked one of them to begin with.” Lifting a booted foot, she inspected it. “Maybe I’ll wear spike heels next time. That’ll make an impression. What do you think, Vex? Would I look okay in spike heels?”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
