Firestone Hot Springs Child at heart

Sorry for the wait. Weekends are always really busy for me--one of the hazards of living next to a lake in the Summer is people are always trying to spend their days off with you x]

So it seemed like the jig was up here. She cursed herself wordlessly for pushing him too far. She should have known better, but what would Fin be without her flair for the dramatic? Really boring, that's what.

The silver woman took a step back, lowering her head apologetically. There seemed to be no other option except to confess to her little game. If he thought he was angry now, she could only imagine what his rage was soon to be like. Perhaps she should have just turned then and run for it. He would probably be too shocked to react, and she had plenty of experience escaping angry animals. Fin took in a deep breath and let it out, prepared to accept her fate.

"Don't be mad, okay?" she said slowly, "But... sudden aggression and rage is another symptom." Or, y'know. That could happen instead. "It's the water, it gives you this fever that can be fatal if you don't act quick enough. If you'll just let me just mix up a quick remedy for you, I promise you'll be alright. You just have to trust me--I know what I'm doing."

The Blackthorn had never made a truer statement.
