If you see this woman, avoid her at all cost. She is to be presumed extremely dangerous.

That does not mean attack her. Do not engage.

private text to Valdis, Aly, Leo, Klaus, the Fool, and Kit; marked from Devin

[Devin doesn't trust himself to speak calmly, or to appear calm. He is nowhere in the realm of calm. Ever since X informed him about Bobby's presence, he has been flooded with adrenalized panic and trying to get a hold on himself. Getting close enough to her to snap a photo demanded marshalling an enormous amount of control, and his hands haven't stopped shaking for hours.]

This woman is a demon. Stay away from her. I do not know the full extent of her powers, but I do know she takes a great deal of pleasure in torturing others. If she learns I know any of you, she will not hesitate to harm you. And for all the gods' sakes, do not engage with her in any way just because I've told you not to. Even if she cannot hurt you, she will start hurting innocent people.

Please. Let me deal with her.

[Because he's extra like that and also he doesn't trust this not to be hacked]

Then I'll wait.

[And he does, at the docks on the tin roof of the warehouse.]

Fine.

[Devin is not keen on this plan, but once he has X safely sequestered away and has gotten his hands to stop shaking for five minutes, he grudgingly goes out to the docks. The trip takes a bit longer than it usually would, since he backtrack and skirts down alleyways and generally tries to avoid being seen the whole way.

He alights silently onto the roof, into the shadow of the building next to it. Klaus is already there; how long has he been here?]

I would like to keep this as short as possible. What did you want to talk about.

[Sorry, Klaus. Devin is not entirely in his right mind at the moment.]

[When Klaus stands, it's evident that his right hand is gloved and his expression is more serious than usual.]

I apologize for bringing you out here but I'm not sure how much I can entrust the network with this.

[He peers into the gloom of the fog, searching for any sign of movement.]

Before I offer, let me ask - will the warning be enough? How dangerous is this demon?

[Klaus' caution is wise, and even he knows that it would be hard for anyone to have tracked him. All the same, his discomfort shows. He's always been pale, but he's ashen now, and his normal grace has been undercut by distress.

Devin grimaces at the questions.]

I'm not sure, exactly. She was... limited by her time spent on Earth. She had to be, to escape detection. I don't believe I've ever seen her at full strength, but I do know she'd set fire to all of Aifaran to get to me if it suited her mood.

[He frowns.] Offer what?

I could seal her for you.

[His expression seems grimmer than ever, and his tone deliberately even.]

It's not an offer I make lightly. It's a cruel fate - she will be alive, conscious and trapped for an eternity. Death is kinder, but death here is never permanent for For- for Dreamfolk. If she's a danger to others, she will remain so.
