"The possibility was there. But it seems that the infant kept his sanity, so I doubt that any real damage was done." Which was a shame. "But now, yes. You could very well do to him what I could do. Not to the same level, but enough."
Simon sat back some, reaching for a bright yellow flower to place in her hair. "I wouldn't say it just to keep you from kissing him. That chance has passed. If I wanted to do something like that, I would have said it to you before the pair of you even had the chance. You risk, now, messing him up entirely."
He slid the flower behind her ear, knowing what she would feel as he did it. It wasn't a distraction so much a reminder of what she was now. She did have some power.
