None of which included giving myself any further evaluation. The doctor within me seemed content to chalk it off to duress, and even without a psychiatric degree, I knew the amount of emotional stress I had been carrying was enough for me to fray around the edges. While this made the ride to the airport quiet, I lingered longer on feeling of relief which should have been present, grateful – even if only clinically – that we had something else to do.

Still, at a point, the lack of conversation finally bothered me enough to break it. “How has Katerina’s research progressed?” I asked.

Robin straightened in his seat, in recognition of being addressed. “Not as well as she’d hoped,” he said. “Though she remains optimistic. She finally divulged to me that she’s been trying to sort out the purpose behind a spell her former captors were attempting to teach her.”

I perked an eyebrow. “I think that’s the first I am hearing that she had any other purpose with them than to cast locating spells.”

“While that is her niche, she’s a gifted sorceress all-around. The problem is, we stole her back before she could finish learning the incantation they had assigned to her. So, she has a beginning and not an end.”

“And she must determine the end by plotting its path.” I nodded. “Now, I understand why Patrick might have wanted to get to her before we did.”

“It’s an advantage, if we can figure out how to wield it.” Robin shifted enough in his seat to weigh me in his sights. I looked from the window toward him, evaluating him with curiosity while he regarded me with a noticeable amount of skepticism. “After your behavior last night, you’re going to have to forgive me for continuing to wonder about your mental welfare. What happened?”

Pausing to think for a moment, I struggled to recount what had occurred out of the ordinary and shrugged. “I think I was just tired. A little out of sorts because of it.”

“Peter, you looked ready to either tear out a human’s throat or have your way with them.” He paused. Whatever thought that had inspired, he gave it a moment to pass. “Did feeding tonight help?”

“Yes, I think it did. At least, I do not feel like doing either tonight.”

“Thank heavens. For a moment, I suspected you might have been struggling against Flynn.”

The evocation of my darker side woke something within me, like his name had become even more sensitive of a trigger. The moment arrived and faded rapidly, but in the brief space of time I became afflicted, Robin watched and waited for me to make eye contact with him again. Tilting his chin by a fraction of an inch, I saw recognition in his gaze. “He’s been quiet?” Robin asked.

“Yes,” I said, though I spoke the word on automatic.

“Good. Because if he’s up to his old tricks, then I promise he and I will exchange more than words. I do not intend to let my guard down with him.
