Xander watched from the new vantage point and was less than thrilled the snake was called to the front. He'd come up here to get away from him. The last thing he wanted was their kind of trouble. Or even her kind of trouble. Xander much preferred to keep his talents on the down low, people either took advantage of your talents or they ridiculed you for it. Neither of which was something Xander tolerated.
But what where the odds that he'd run into two men called up by the same witch who were special. Clearly the two up front were masters of their arts. Xander wondered about the first man. The darkness and anger, it reminded him of himself, but then he couldn't see his own aura with ease. Staring at himself just wasn't his thing and then it was distorted. Colored by his own knowledge.
While the ritual was of interest to Xander, it wasn't to Alexis. There was no prospect of money here. Unless she wished to go on the road and sell her gift. He'd done that once, traveled with a carnival and told people their fortunes, it was a sad gig. And he'd been 'let go' because all of his prophecies were dark. All the true ones always were.
If the snake came forward Xander would leave, he didn't want to get caught up in whatever game he was playing. And he didn't want to see anymore of those images up close and personal.
