Re: House Kitsune: Darius, Valentin & Open
Inside Darius's mind, there was an epic struggle between Quintus and Sybil. On the outside, he was muttering with his eyes closed, thrashing a little. Then suddenly he stood very still. After a long moment, he opened his eyes. He glanced around, then focused on Valentin.
"I'm very sorry, but it's no good," Sybil said through Darius's mouth, the voice more controlled and cultured now. "I am able to hold the Roman at bay, but Mr. Prose is not strong enough to do so on his own. If I withdraw, he will simply be overcome again. I admit, I am not entirely certain how to proceed."
Then she took a closer look at Valentin. "I will, however, point out that we are past where fangs might be of use, and kindly request that you put them away."
