The Day caste slipped one arm up in a deceptively embracing gesture, while the other snapped forward with thumb extended to crush a pressure point just below her jawline. Inky black essence roiled off of his arms as they slid through the combo. Her skin flared with adamant essence, but then sudden shock registered on her features. |

Looks like their no better than ours, thank the void. I've got to go, but just you remember that I could have killed you tonight, or dragged you back to the Mask myself for his tender care. You owe me." |
