Anya's lip quivered, her beautiful blue eyes glistening with unshed tears. This madman was a dead man. He had hurt her in so many ways, and Sebastian suspected he was only scratching the surface. “So this is why you pander for Xandar's life? He committed a crime against you. He is not some innocent who needs to be saved.”

“Believe me when I say I'm more than conflicted about it.”

Sebastian would accept that for now. Xandar had a stay of execution. Besides, there were other ways to punish one such as he.

Sonya rushed through the doors toward them. “Anya!” She scooped her up for a painful looking embrace. “I'm so sorry.” To Sebastian she growled. “Where is he? I'll kill him!”

So much for being discreet.

“He's locked up for now. We will decide what to do with him once we finish the contract.”

She glared at him. “How are you not more angered by this?”

“Oh, you should have seen him before.” Anya took another bite of food.

“Is that so?” Sonya smiled at him devilishly, “I'll bet Bastian never lets another male anywhere near you again.”

As right as Sonya was, Sebastian still gave her a look of irritation. She playfully swatted him on the shoulder before taking a seat.

“You didn't close the pub just to come see me, did you?” Anya asked.

“Hell no! I made Cale stay and watch the counter. He sure is proud of you though, isn't he?”

Anya beamed.

“Though I don't think his ego will ever be the same.”

In a barely audible voice, Sebastian said to Sonya, “I want you to go search Xandar's room. I do not believe two drinks alone made Anya so sick.” He switched to Demonish before continuing. “Xandar came into her room last night while she was unconscious. If I hadn't been there…” He trailed off and looked at Anya for the calmness only she could provide. He had to keep reminding himself that she was unharmed.

In Demonish, Sonya replied, “I'm assuming because you're telling me this in our language that Anya doesn't know about this.”

“Correct. And I don't want her to.”

“You think he tainted her drink?”

“Yes.”

“I'll tear the bastard's room apart if I have to.” She paused thoughtfully. “Why were you there?”

In defense, he said, “I stayed on the couch. Anya asked me to. She said she was frightened.”

“Hmm, perhaps she has a gift for sensing danger.”

“That might be so. I went to the Edge right in front of her. It was the fastest transition I've ever experienced. Must have only taken a second, but it seemed like she sensed it happening before I did.”

“Interesting. Well, I'm sure you will figure her out one day brother. I'm off to destroy, I mean, search Xandar's belongings.” Sonya hugged Anya once more before she left.

“What is that language you speak?” Anya asked, finishing the last of her dinner.

“It's called Demonish. It is the language of my people.”

“It's beautiful, even if you are using it to hide something from me.”

Marik approached then, saving Sebastian from forming a response.
