for: @xsureshxsoundsx time & location: after all the events, his suite at the hotel

A soft sigh falling to no one but her own ears in the quietness of her penthouse, Nyra fell back onto the plushness of her bed taking a moment to pause, to exhale and deflate The comforts of home couldn't shake the feeling of failed events, even her clothes reflected plain and ordinary instead off the team colours that were so proudly displayed during the day. But as she looked back on the activities, there was a sense of pride too, overall defeat couldn't negate the thrill she felt watching the Fae give it their all. And one such person resided a floor beneath her, and it was on him that her focus went to. Gathering a few things, Nyra made her way down towards Suresh's suite, while she may not be able to pin down all he felt, there was one she shared with him and that felt a reason enough for the visit and unprompted gift. "Suresh..." she called out with a knock, "I know you're in there, open up please. I have something for you."

Bringing a candle close, Jonah oooh'ed at the scent of this one, the same reaction he had given to the three others that preceded it. Choices were hard to make when everything was good, especially with these local market stalls and last minute shopping. He hadn't meant to leave it off till the end, but with so much on his mind he still hadn't crossed off all the names just yet. Spotting a familiar face amongst the crowd, Jonah gave Suresh a friendly wave, "Hey! Doing some last minute shopping as well? Or just out and about?" Readjusting the tote bag so it wouldn't slip again, the movement gave way for his sweater to be displayed in all its glory, "Can I ask you for a favour if you can spare a minute? Which is better to you?" he asked with a point to the selection of candles in front of him, "I can't seem to decide and you have good taste."

"Noted. You should get that check out, seems like a proper issue." It was likely unnecessary commentary but it was said now, and he didn't care much for any snark in return. "Heard that," Dhruv added, tossing the words over his shoulder, "Got super hearing, mate, nothing is out of earshot." And for probably for the first time this conversation Dhruv smiled. "You want me to answer that question too or keep it to myself again? Both can be arranged, but you'll only like one of the options." Once inside, he gestured to a nearby table, "Here is fine, the bloke said he'd have to tag them so they'll be rummaging through it again." A part of him disliked that, to have other people go through Mason's stuff, but his aunt had said Mason came here a lot, and maybe some were from here. "Oh...um.. thanks?" The comment caught him off-guard and all Dhruv did was blink a couple times and reply with a nod to acknowledge it.

Suresh gave a low huff. "Neither am I, bruv. I'm just always in a mood. It's not you." While this was not actually an apology, it, at the very least, seemed to resemble one, or at least a backing off from trying to press Dhruv's buttons when it became apparent he would not allow them to be pressed. "Right," Suresh nodded shortly, moving for the vehicle. "If that's too much, you can leave it, blah, blah, blah," he murmured under his breath as soon as the other was out of earshot. "Of course I can bloody handle it. What do I look like?" A valet, he decided, fetching packages. In any case, loading up his arms, Suresh headed toward the shop. "Where shall I set these?" he asked, eyes glancing down to the pile he was toting. "...Condolences. By the way." This came awkwardly, but it was more truthful than saying sorry (when he wasn't sure he was).

for: @xsureshxsoundsx locations: streets of lunar cove

With tensions high and tempers likely on the rise after that rather spectacular council meeting, Nyra left in a state not dissimilar to when she had entered the room — hope failing and a looming sense of dread hanging overhead. Deciding to give her feet time to heal after spending the past few days on them and ignoring medical advice, it felt nice in a way to unfurl her wings and take to the skies, wishing she could spend her days up here rather than where the people were, Up high or underwater, the two environments seemed to be rising in preferences over flat ground. But she had to land eventually, especially when a familiar figure peering into a shop's window caught her attention. Landing with a quiet flutter just a little to his side, wings closed back up as Nyra followed his gaze to see what had caught his interest, "What's caught your eye that has you out and about?"

[nyraxodeyer]

for: @xsureshxsoundsx location: emerald hotel

Heels clicking on the terrazzo floor, Nyra moved through the hotel's lobby, warmly greeting the staff as she passed them by. Paperwork awaited her, she knew, and really it wasn't a terrible ordeal, the hotel had to run smoothly still, the events only causing her to pay increased attention to both the Fae and her guests, some happened to be both. And one in particular that always founds ways to irk her. She was fond of him that couldn't be nullified but sometimes he sure did test patience.

"Suresh," she called out, name falling sternly as her arms crossed across her chest, "How many times must you do this?" Once, twice, could be ignored, which she had, thrice, a gently telling off, and even took to warning the front desk staff to ignore him, but she began to suspect he did this just to spite her. "My office now!"

[nyraxodeyer]

She made face at the other emotions listed, none of which she wanted to feel, "I'm not doubting nor saying we can't feel them, we can, I just don't think in this moment, for this time, such things will be of any benefit or use if given importance. What will anger do for me? Or bitterness? I cannot change what's already been done, why let that simmer and turn my mood foul?" She could perhaps give thought to what he said, but such was her state of mind that harbouring rather than letting things go would not give her any peace of mind. "I didn't but do I need to ask that?" she questioned instead, forcing her thoughts to turn, "You will tell me regardless. An algae covered cavern, huh? You might miss people too much, who will you bare your teeth at? The fish?"

What did they learn about her? How much she bet? But others had outbid her. How much she cared for this hotel or the Fae? But that was nothing new. "Did you see that night as a point of learning about others? It was high stakes and high emotions, actions might be sincere or they could be erratic. Dilan was just trying to keep Leyla safe, did you notice that?" She wasn't faulting him, not a bit, but such events brought a different side in people, "You might act in a similar fashion in all situations, which is not a bad thing, consistent but others might not and that's not a bad thing either."

Nyra simply let out a light laugh at his comments, "Oh it very much is recreational." As he continued, laughter quietened to settle as a small smile, as much as Suresh flashed his annoyance at people, at her even, it was such displays that kept her belief alive that he maybe cared. Or at least, she was taking it as such but by no means would she verbalise that thought. "I appreciate that but I'm not doing this, saying all this, under any guise of nobility, I'm stating facts. The idea, and to a degree the execution, of this Fae ball was mine, the premise was set knowing full well what it could entail. I'm not inviting blame by accepting responsibility nor does this make me feel better, but it's something. What would you have be do? Shrug my shoulders and move on? Nothing will change this, I know and I accept that. Can only learn from this."

Nyra held up her hands, "No catch, Mr. Masculine and ravenous. I can't lie so you have no choice but to believe me. As much as I do enjoy telling you off, this is not a moment for it, stop being so suspicious and take this as a nice thing."

Suresh pursed up his lips, looking out from beneath his eyelashes, the portrait of utter innocence. "Who said anything about numbness, love? There are so many other emotions. Anger. Wrath. Jealousy. Bitterness. Believe me, I know as Fae we're capable of those just as strongly as anything else." He hummed, a sly grin spreading across his face. "Are you asking me if I think you're abysmal? Because again, I said no such thing. Perhaps I will move back to the sea, though. Store myself away in some forgotten cavern. Algae is good on the skin." He ran his hands along his own face, deciding it was already silky smooth.

Suresh offered a shrug. "I don't know. A prize? A golden trinket? A sense of smug-satisfaction or relief? There are so many options, Nyra," he muttered. "My point is: nobody learned anything about me they didn't already know. The same can't be said for everyone, now can it? Dilan put on quite a show really. Bloodthirsty for the world to see." He gave a terse grin, a clenching of his teeth.

"What I do in my private quarters is none of your bloody concern. It's not as though I make the housekeeping staff tidy after me. Any visits they might make to my suite are purely recreational," he retorted. "No. No. You know what I think is foolish? Taking the weight of a bunch of bell-ends on your own shoulders. You didn't trap anyone. You didn't harm anyone. I don't believe in this nobility shite people whip out all the time around here. Falling on the sword. You can't pay your bills with it, and you can't wipe your arse with it. So who is it for? Not me. You then? Does it make you feel better to think you had some control over it? It's shite, Nyra. It happened. It's shite."

He scoffed, but there was a semblance of genuine irritation that she was blaming herself for the tragedies. "Masculine and ravenous," he sniffed, voice sharp. "Why don't I believe you? I thought I wasn't meant to be...distracting the staff? What's the catch here?"

[dhruvxmehta]

"Mate, I'm really not in the mood, yeah?" Dhruv heaved a sigh at the comment, giving the man a unimpressed stare before planning to handle this task by himself, till the actual more sincere offer came, well as best as he felt the other could manage. "Yeah, fine. There's a few more things in the boot, if you want to grab those," he said pointing to the car with his foot given his hands were occupied. Sorting this stuff was hard enough, draining his mental capacity more than physical and to waste the little energy he had left over arguing with some stranger wasn't how he had wanted to spend the day. Turning, he spoke over his shoulder, "If that's too much, you can leave it. I'll come back for it..." Whatever was said after that sounded like a mumble to his own ears too as he made his way towards the shop.

Suresh scoffed a little. "Well, perhaps I was, but now...self-fulfilling prophesies and all that, bruv." He sighed a bit, rolling his eyes. "Do you want the help or not? I'm offering it. What else do you have to get?" And in truth, while the offer of help was, in and of itself, genuine, he did seem keen on complaining the whole time about it.

[nyraxodeyer]

"Oh? I have to be careful now do I?" Her gaze grew icy. "Lucky for us I will not stumble. It was said with disbelief but you decided to take that on as a reprimand," she pointed out, "I did make it implicitly clear that I do not care what you do, and much like how I don't and won't control your actions, you don't control how I get to react to certain things, got it? You're not a child that I need to scold into good behaviour, but if you wish to take what I say as such a thing, then..." she shrugged, "You have free reign." If he took as some such nonsense thing as being unfairly treated then she did not have the energy to explain more. She'd have far easier time with an actual child.

"A comparison and a metaphor?" If she had wanted this to carry on beyond the point of annoyance, it'd be easy to point out that he had wanted to take that ring, wanted to burn her, wanted that vengeance to retaliate for what had happened at camp, something he said when she gone knocking on his door after those events and a thing he proved again now that he still harboured that resentment, but such thoughts rose and fell in her mind, washed away under waves of tiredness and futility.

She didn't say much as he spoke but at the thunder, at his insults, a little huff of a chuckle escaped her, "If we can't respect our own why would others? And if we were to be stuck with each other, you're the one that will hate it the most." She had no qualms about it, the issue she might have is that others, him, will be able to see her wounds and scales that were cutout with an iron blade. "Do you feel better now or would you like to insult me more? Since you're still hurting you feel entitled to such displays of behaviour, yet I dare not ask to you to watch your tongue otherwise I'm scolded and chiding you? Got it." Seeing no further point in being here, Nyra turned to leave.

Suresh grunted. "What bloody good would that do? Sounds much easier to simply go into hiding where no one can sneak up on me at all." He crossed his own arms, looking away, the portrait of utter petulance. "Except you weren't. Do be careful. You're skirting around the edges of half-truth, and well, we know what happens when we winged sorts start to stumble. You decided to chide me, your Highness. 'Shoes. You're not serious...?' That's what you sound like. Why don't we go into the shoe shop and tell them to shut down right now, lest they find themselves morally lacking?" He sniffed, turning back to face her head-on. "No, I am not. And yet, here I am, once again scolded."

Gritting his teeth, Suresh cocked his head to one side as he regarded her, his eyes narrowing. "I didn't take her ring! She offered it, and I didn't take it! The ring was a comparison. A metaphor for us all to pummel into the ground. Something I brought up because even you can admit being purposefully made vulnerable is a terrible bloody thing." He pressed a hand to his forehead, brow knitting. "And yes, yes, my feelings about Meena are complicated. Do I care for her? Do I want to find her? Of fucking course. Do I still feel...frustrated and humiliated by her actions during that godforsaken campout? Of course. She's not just someone I know either, love."

Looking up at the sky, then, Suresh gave an anamused huff. "Be cautious now. Or we'll both be stuck here in each other's company." His eyes taking on a glow of their own, he made a second thunderclap, louder this time. "Fine. Isn't that the point? I don't want to talk to anybody. But tell me, love, since when are we Fae worthy of respect, hm? Before or after they soaked us to win dodgeball, or in-between where they startled our horses on purpose? I suppose you wouldn't know, yours as high as it is and all."

[nyraxodeyer]

"Without sentiment, I would be numb and that's not something I wish to feel." The truth feel and she did not attempt to stop it, felt no need, she did not wish to feel such a thing any more. Though at his statement, a chuckle fell despite her intent, "Creature of the abyss? I don't think I've heard that one from you yet. Are we from this same abyss then? Or neighbouring ones?" It may be just a hotel to him, and he was fit to view it as such, seeing that it was just a hotel, but it came to mean something bigger to her, greater than a structure. She no longer had a home but this came so damn close it that some days it did feel like it.

"What would you like to show for it?" she questioned, "Divulging truths about ourself, no matter how petty doesn't seem like your thing, or have I gotten it wrong? You do love to talk about yourself." She added a light shake of her head to brush away the seriousness of the night, "It came with your residence here actually, though you have yet to burden yourself and lift a finger. I cannot even expect to keep your room clean." All in all though, no matter how much he tried to ruffle her feathers, sometimes even succeeding, he was, in all sense of the word, a relief - not that she would ever admit that though. This was too much fun. "No," she said now, the humour falling, "Aiyla doesn't need to bother herself with this. This was my doing. I opened our hotel, our home to all thinking maybe we'd be advantageous, one step ahead... you don't need to say it, I admit that was a foolish move. So this-" her gaze swept about the place, the destruction and whatever was left intact, "I bear the responsibility. You don't have to be on the repair crew, you deserve a break." Though at his words, a laugh fell through, genuine and light, "Primal? Oh, darling, sure of course. That's it." She shrugged before continuing, "If you're willing to be so generous and give them longer breaks, who am I to stop you? As long as it's fun for you, I stand by what I said, you deserve that break."

"Without sentiment, you'd be feeling decidedly less abysmal right now, love. Creature of the abyss I am and all. I sense these things," Suresh cooed, rolling his eyes. He sniffed defiantly. "Yes, I suppose I do live here." But he would not admit affection for the building or for the Fae Court; even if such a thing existed, he knew better than to try to talk around it and give up his advantage. Bringing up his hands in mock arrest, the siren raised an eyebrow. He shrugged. "There are phone apps for that now. Besides, I did not lose all my money. Only an irritating chunk. And what do I have to show for it? No more than anyone else, and they didn't even learn a petty truth about me." He laughed. "You're concerned about my being your friend, but I'm concerned about you being my employer. When did that happen again? If the Fae Queen wants me on the clean up and repair crew, she should declare it properly." Suresh shook his head, features knotting into irritation. "Pretty's not quite the right word. My lure is perhaps more primal and forbidden, thank you," he scoffed. "You do know if you post me down here, their union-mandated breaks will just get longer, right? More enjoyable for them, of course, but it's your funeral, pet."

[dhruvxmehta]

Prick. Though his movements stopped to give the man a blank, unamused state, Dhruv could hardly stop that thought from sounding in his head at the reaction received, and only because he had actually held the door open Dhruv kept the response to the question asked to himself despite it being perched on the tip of his tongue. Why extend this conversation when it seemed burger wanted a part of it. The subtle shift in expression didn't solidly register but Dhruv shot back a wordless nod of thanks at the action nonetheless. "Dunno mate, you really offering to help without being a prick?" he replied in question, "Could use a hand."

Option A

"Who do I bloody look like, bruv? Angus Hudson?" Suresh scoffed, nostrils flaring, seeming to take offense at being asked to hold the door for someone. After a beat, however, he narrowed his eyes and tugged it open all the same. "Don't answer that." Eyeing Dhruv up and down, then, the siren did seem to somehow soften, assuming, really, what all the odds and ends were. He tightened his features again before he could be caught looking sympathetic. "Do you need actual help, mate? You look foolish, lugging all this around like a walking game of Jenga."

[nyraxodeyer]

"I think one bell around you should suffice rather than multiple for the whole court. Make sure you move around or be subject to more scaring." The tirade of nonsense that began to spew from him as he continued had her cross her arms and look to him unfazed, though she could feel temper rising at the tone of utter disrespect, she controlled it under curled fists. "Wonderful, you're done," she spoke through gritted teeth, voice fizzing with barely contained irritation. "You want to look for her inside a shoe stores or hidden coastal caves, by all means do so, I was fine with letting you be. Disbelief at your actions can and will still happen, everything you do, good and bad, is a surprise to me. I do not require a list of good deeds you do either, we've already established that after the camp activities. If you're looking for a well done I'll give it to you but as you've said you're not a school kid." Yet he certainly acted like one, and she knew this was futile conversation while he was in this mood of his only led to more arguments but it was a challenging to stop. "It was you saying you were going to take her ring, after knowing how much it means to her for ridiculous deserved vengeance nonsense that irked me, because if it slipped your mind Meena is not just someone that I work with." She was the closest thing to family that Nyra had and to find this out, how could irritation not rise to meet it.

Control slipped a touch as her eyes flashed for the briefest of seconds, clouds above them darkening as the smell of rain rose only to settle moments later, ground dry and blueness returning the sky as if there had never been a threat of a storm hen he spoke about Billie, deemed that to be the last straw, her wings unfurled ready to leave before she actually made it thunder. "Much like you Suresh, I don't need you to tell me what I should and shouldn't worry about. But what I do need from you is to check your tone next time you speak to me. If it's not with the respect I deserve then don't fucking speak to me at all, understood? Find someone else to be the dartboard for your anger, I'm far too exhausted for this."

"Well, it's mostly you and Kui, to be frank, love. Perhaps we ought to tie little bells to the whole court so everyone knows who's bloody coming and going." He narrowed his eyes before making a point of looking in any other direction than at her. "Well, I can't lie. And we all still wear shoes, don't we? Or has the recent bout of nonsense freed all our feet for posterity?" Suresh scoffed, rolling his eyes and crossing his arms before looking back into her face, his own unrattled. "You do realize my relationship with Meena does not involve you, don't you, love? It's not official Council business, and I do not need to check in with you to gauge how I speak about it, thank you." In truth, Nyra happened to simply by the nearest outlet toward which he could channel his own frustrations about the situation. But he had never been a noble hero sort before this; he saw no point in starting now.

"No shit," Suresh replied, clicking his tongue. "What do you want from me, Nyra? Do you know I've also been swimming the rocky edges of the shoreline? Looking for sunken corpses or abandoned vessels? No, you don't. Because that's unpleasant. But I have been. And I did go into our neighbors' dreams. And I did help corral everyone out of the inn when the vampires eyes went black. So forgive me for wanting a new pair of goddamn loafers. Because I have more than contributed to this godforsaken hovel we call a town, and I shan't be admonished like a nursery schooler for not smiling as I do it. Why don't you worry more about the little blonde siren who turned into an evil goddamn robot that night?"

[nyraxodeyer]

"That's what you always want," she retorted, "But if you really wish to be alone right now. I can leave. I'm not stopping you from feeling what you want or need to fell. I just wanted to check in and drop off some food since I know you wouldn't be going out. You don't even have to eat it." She had to shake her head when Suresh continued, an eye roll, something that she's hardly know to do, was given to him freely too. "I don't mean offence, but I know you will take it as such, but that's actually rather pathetic behaviour." Patience grew a touch thin, words sounding unlike what she would normally say. She was used to this behaviour from him, she took on a lot of it, but she began to grew weary of it, and in general too. "And then what? You'd drown them all and see their lifeless bodies float to the surface. Then what? You'd find thrill that they died and you won? I don't think you're capable of such a cruelty, Suresh no matter what you might say. Tactics were fair game, the organises said that too. Dirty as they maybe. But taking the vampires ring and exposing them to the sun for long could kill them, water turning us into our siren forms is not death. I get you're upset and I'm not saying you can't be, you felt defenceless and vulnerable, I get it, but now I need you to understand that it's not a sign of weakness as you're thinking it to be."

She scoffed, "Not as easy. I'm on the council, showing face is something I should be doing. Besides, it might be a good time to talk to some other Fae. See how they're doing." Nyra stared at his for a moment as he spoke, she could see a myriad of emotions in his words and features and it saddened her to see such a thing. "When did we rise above? When you dropped all the Fae in trust falls? Or would that be just a game to you? Why should they take a bullet for you?" she questioned, "Am I telling you to personally go congratulate them? No. Nor am I telling you to suck it up and move on. They took your points because you were actively sabotaging us for your own satisfaction, do not say otherwise." she stated, but more she spoke, the quicker she began to realise that nothing would ever come from this. "I'm trying to understand you. I really am." The anger and resentment Suresh possessed seemed to be as deep as the abyss. "And that's why we need to fix it. I don't know if you well and truly want to see the Court burn but you're right in saying we have fallen apart. There's members that feel like outsiders, if you don't want to extend any courtesy to them, I can't make you, but I don't want to give up."

Suresh narrowed his eyes, making a scoffing noise as he sunk down onto the sofa. "Sometimes a person just wants to be...alone. Alone to feel what it is he wants to feel. Better. Pfft. What's better? There is no better or worse. Only monotony." He sniffed, beginning to open the food. "Refusing to discuss one's emotions and choosing instead to bury them with bad habits is actually incredibly masculine behavior. I watch daytime talk shows." He flashed his teeth, deciding, abruptly that he did not feel terribly hungry, after all, setting the offerings aside to curl inward upon himself. "I could have done worse than bloody rapids. I could have tipped them all over and sent them plummeting into the abyss. But the organizers seemed out to get us, wouldn't you say? Oh, blah, blah, blah, magic and powers are fair. Are sprinkler systems supernatural powers now? How about rubber snakes?" He wrinkled his nose in displeasure. "They made a goddamn mockery of us. I don't know to see it as anything but that. What if we took all the vampire's rings and opened the sunroofs? Do you think that would have counted as above board?" He shook his head.

"Then don't go. Maybe we could all unify ourselves with a boycott," he suggested, clicking his tongue. "But are all the people who reside in this town our kind? Is that something you truly believe? Why must we always be the ones to rise above? Was anyone thinking of divisions or in-fighting when they made fools of us? Our dear friends, whom we must love so much, took advantage of our weaknesses without a second thought to win a game. I would not exactly trust them to take a hunter's bullet for me." He rolled his eyes. "I did show up. What did it get me? They took all my bloody points, Nyra. Not that they mean anything, but showing up has been for absolutely nothing. And look around you; we've already fallen apart. This very court is tainted. The former queen is why we're in this mess."

[nyraxodeyer]

Glad for the acceptance of food and entry in, Nyra stepped in and held her gaze from wandering around the space, she likely know what to expect and it did not need a reaction. "You know, putting yourself down like that isn't going to make you feel any better about this whole ordeal? What happened to Mr. Masculine and ravenous?" She was trying to lighten the mood away from the seriousness state Suresh was over this. "Not as if you didn't show power you hold during canoeing either. The rapids? That was something. As one Siren to another, I get it. To see an unfortunate weakness of ours to be exploited for a game, you should know I understand, but this does not reflect on dignity lost, nor did you ever lose it. You can argue on that and I can't stop you and say it shouldn't feel that way, but we're not always powerless. I wish it happened differently too, the unexpectedness of it all took me by surprise." And paired with immobility, having to depend on others to pick up her hardly felt good either but such a thing she had grown to accept. Water spilled accidentally, being splashed while outside, even rain that was not forecasted could turn them, she had, in her many years of being alive, adjusted to such things. But she didn't expect everyone else to nor be on the same scale of acceptance.

"You don't have to be there, I don't want to either," she couldn't help but speak up honestly on the matter, she wanted to go back into her suite and wait for daylight, but the barbecue felt like something she needed to show face for. "I know you're hurt, and I'm not saying you're wrong in feeling the way you do, but to even suggest something like that is wrong Suresh. The mirage, illusions, are something we do to keep our kind safe, not just the Fae, but all the people that reside in this town. We've already fallen victim to attacks of the most horrible kind, we do not need in-fighting to further that divide." She did not want to chide or scold him, nor make think she didn't see his perspective, because she did and like he had said, she understood more than anybody. "You don't have to like them, you don't have to play along, but just show up, that's all you need to do. Not for the points, not even for the camaraderie that, we, the Council hoped would solidify, but I don't want us to fall apart?"

Suresh gave a low groan at that, his nostrils flaring. "What else would you call being bloody immobilized on purpose so people could pelt you with dodgeballs on the floor, Nyra? I've no dignity left. If I ever had it to begin with." He shook his head, falling silent for a moment as he averted his gaze. "I will take the rice and curry, though." The food reminded him, in some way, of his parents, of his grandparents, of a bloodline that was very much his own and yet somehow not. He had not seen them in decades, through his own doing, he know, and that sudden thought left a strange ache in the pit of his stomach. Still, his acceptance did not sound like an invitation, or even thanks, but despite himself, Suresh stepped aside to hold the door open. "Won't you come in? Excuse the mess." Swallowing, he gestured about the suite's admittedly abysmal state, a reflection of how he was feeling in this moment, scattered and messy. "The very last thing I want to do is be out there with all those...people," he grunted. "It wasn't fucking right. You should understand more than anybody. They made fools of us. And then sat their with their mouths gaping in dull shock that we took issue with it. I shan't play along anymore. What's the bloody point?" He sighed. "We should take our magic from them. Our mirage. Our illusions. See how one likes being made vulnerable."
