“What’s the matter with him?” Elora asked my teammates.

“He’s scared to death! That’s what’s the matter! Every one of us could just…” Storm clenched and unclenched his hands in the air pantomimin’ a right proper stranglin’.

With a suddenness I was no’ expectin’, he turned on me, pointin’ toward my chest. “For every time I have ever called you reckless or psycho or accused you of having a death wish, I take it all back. She makes you look downright timid.”

I could no’ believe I was takin’ up for her in any way, but I heard myself say, “Lay off. ’Tis done.”

“Are you okay?” She looked at me. I just went back to breathing through the paper bag and let my eyes do the talkin’. “Wow. It looks like there was some serious drama on this side of the mirror.”

“Oh! Sweet. Do you care about us at all?”

Elora’s mouth fell open. “What do you mean? Of course.”

“Ms. Laiken,” Kay began, “emotions were running a little high because of fear. For you. And from this side of the glass, it seemed like you were sort of asking for it.”

“It? Asking for it as in getting bit?”

Kay nodded.

Elora looked around the room. “So it’s Ms. Laiken now is it?” When she saw that every single one of us were mad as hornets, she said, “Okay. I’m sorry if I gave you cause for concern. But I was the one in the situation and I had to follow my own instincts.”

“Cause for concern?” Storm was no’ the sort to indulge in fits of temper and, I must say, it looked a little off kilter on him. He turned toward the wall and yelled out loud before resumin’ the upbraidin’. “Inoculations can’t save you if your jugular is sliced in two.” He had a good point there. He held his hand in front of her face, thumb and first finger twitchin’ together. “And you were this close. Even you wouldn’t recover from that.”

The woman had the nerve to look like she was gettin’ angry in response. “That’s just it, Storm. I wasn’t in any danger. I’m sorry you were needlessly worried, but you’re going to have to learn to trust me.” He hissed out his aggravation then dropped his hands to his sides as if to say he was givin’ up. “What if I had told you I was going to rehabilitate Blackie? We both know you would have forbidden me to go near him. Blackie would have been sentenced to live out his life being tormented by that sadist.”

“Please tell me you are no’ comparing that thing,” he pointed to the creature behind the glass, “to an abused dog! If you’re saying you have plans to domesticate Istvan Baka, then you need to double down on your therapy sessions.”

Elora pulled back like she’d been slapped and, as irate as I was, my protective instincts proved stronger. I jumped down from the counter, got in front of Storm and said, “That’s enough!” I held his gaze long enough for him to know I was no’ jokin’ around.
