He strode to the shelves and gestured to the books. "Find your information and then leave, please. I've had my fill of speaking to the living."

Ky kept her distance but walked back to the shelf and began pulling books that looked like they may be vaguely relevant. She wasn’t in the right head space for this anymore. She was angry. And… unsettled… and… she had to have something to take back to—

Gods.

Gaius.

He stayed where he was, arms crossed as he watched her. "How did they react to your ability, hm? I imagine Gaius thinks you're some sort of anomaly to be studied."

So much for having his fill of her. “I don’t think he knows how he feels about it yet. It… wasn’t welcomed anyhow.”

“Yeah.” She pulled another book off the shelf. “…I think he’s worried about me, more than anything.”

“He knows you,” she countered. “And Michael.”

"I'm not insane like Michael," he retorted. "I wouldn't harm you. He ought to know that."

“And me?” Ky asked impatiently. He was missing the point. “If Michael can hurt me — and realizes that — then he’s going to. And that is… concerning. To both of us, anyway. And Tomhas. They don’t like dangling bait for him.”

"Have you considered amusing him rather than running from him? That'd buy you time. He likes to talk, so long as you don't annoy him. If he likes your conversation then he's less likely to harm you outright."

“I’m not Michael’s plaything,” Ky snarled, glaring at him; offended by the implication. “I’ve no desire to make him like me.”
