Rachel took the glass of wine with shaking hands, making sure to hold it securely enough not to spill. She sipped at it as Cruz sat down next to her. Wanting to feel safer, she moved closer and leaned into him a bit trying not to spill her wine or his own.
She took another drink before answering Cruz's question. "It's just scary out there,"
she said. "Bad things happen when this many people gather in one place and are afraid."
Rachel hadn't put everything together and known that Cruz had the Sickness and thus magical talents. She was also unaware of her own sister's powers and thus an Atharim target.
"Magic real though,"
she said. "I find it hard to believe, but - I don't know. Even if people can, why would others want to kill them for that."
She understood it was dangerous, but people should be judged by their actions and not by what they were.
