New Allies
#67
He looked at Nhysa. What defined innocence? Another question she posed to him that made him think, but in this particular case. "I do not like being prey." But then again he was sure small hunted animals probably felt the same. Being an apex predator had its advantages. But were they really apex anymore?

Too many questions to think on. Li shifted to get more comfortable in Nhysa's arms. If it were a different situation, he might take advantage of the closeness, but there were screaming bystanders and they distracted him from the situation. Though most of the crowd had already dispersed. Only a handful of people stood and gawked. Others were making recordings with their wallets. Who wouldn't want to see this from the safety of their own couches?

Li sighed. He had no idea what they wanted. "No one has seen an Ijiraq in ages, they were thought dead. And no one said they could do what they just did to me. They are spies and assassins. But they don't look like they came here with a real purpose. And no one knows how to control them anymore."

Li shifted to sit up saddened by the fact that Nhysa's arms fell away from him. But he needed to see. He looked back at her with sly smile on his lips. "We can continue this intimate embrace in less populated areas later." It was a suggestion with much desire in the undertones, but it was also sad he had to stop. Li looked out upon the crowd. He saw three of the creatures. One still near them, another seemed to have found the idiot from the ring. And the third was around the main attraction. "Our woman friend up there was channeling, but she was not attacked. Might you be safe? They seem to only attack men. We could employ your methods by removing the air from around the victim and their attacker." Li suggested. "Provided you know how to do that?" Li didn't know how to do it. He could make a shield of air, but killing with his power had never been something he had tried. But Nhysa, she would use all her tools to her advantage - she might. "I don't want you or me to get any closer than we have to to those things." Li didn't add that he couldn't protect her from this thing. She wouldn't have found it comforting that he might try to protect her, nor did she really need his help.
