She\u2019d been about to simply abandon control and unleash hell in six different directions when Vex took control of the situation. She slumped to the floor when the Fae released her, one hand gripping at her throat over the marks. Glancing up, through the forest of legs, she saw people spreading away from him, though a few stayed.<\/p>\n

Getting to her feet, she came up behind Vex. \u201cI\u2019m fine,\u201d she said, softly, into his ear, before looking around at the Fae still clustered close. Anger hardened the lines of her face as she let a different side of her powers show, a halo of fire rising off her hair and drifting as sparks.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The Mesmer slowly nodded, taking in the quietly spoken words of the woman who\u2019d moved to stand behind him. He was glad that she was alright, but that didn\u2019t mean he was pleased. His eyes blazed with fury as he watched the Fae around them, teeth set into something similar to a snarl. \u00a0Vex felt heat from where Summer stood, and so he stepped to the side to look at her, raising an eyebrow.<\/p>\n

The halo of fire was surprising, he hadn\u2019t noticed her elemental abilities before, but it wasn\u2019t a bad kind of surprise. He occasionally raised an arm against a flare of the sparks, which weren\u2019t perfectly contained, but other than that, he didn\u2019t move to stop her. \u201cDo what you will. The mess can be cleaned up later,\u201d he told her with a dark tone, saying nothing more. He reached into his pocket and took out a flask of whiskey, taking a swift swig from it.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

“I would,” she replied in the same tone, “but I don’t want to deal with the backlash. It’s \/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’t all need the protection of one of yours.” Turning to Vex, she said, quite clearly, “Take me out of here, will you? I’m sure there must be more folk like you elsewhere, and I don’t want to get my costume dirty.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
