Her mouth lifted into a smile. This was the part she loved; the lull of it, slow burning. Toma. Maybe she would use that name some time.
His palm was warm against her thigh. The tease like breath against her neck pinched her lip between her teeth, lighting hunger in her gaze, a flicker of Li’s gesture not so very many hours before. Curled this close she had a perfect view of his pupils, to watch the tells as numbness began to spread like an unwelcome guest. Nhysa was well acquainted with the sensation; she’d suffered it herself in the deepest bowels of the Custody.
Jaxen pressed the glass to her lips, though did not appear to notice that it did little more than wet her grinning lips. She laughed and playfully claimed the drink from his hand before he drowned her with it. A little would hardly hurt. The shadows were too sparse for her even to be aware of the creature she knew must watch, let alone allow her to reach for her own gifts. So she didn’t fear the power’s absence, but neither did she wish to dull the edge of her blade.
“Not in the mood for showing off? I guess you’ve had a busy night.” She leaned in just a little more. Too much and he was going to be senseless, so distraction pressed a touch to lift his chin. Ran a gentle and curious caress across his cheekbone. A brush across his lips. “Remarkable, really. You don’t look a bit like him.”
