Lane’s eyes widened when he actually agreed with her.  She thought this might have been the first time he did not act at least a little condescending when she suggested something or acted over-protective.  She was a force of nature, not invincible, but certainly more durable than the average human.  She did not need extensive protection, in all reality, knowledge of their opponent was going to be much more useful than James flinging himself in front of some metaphorical bullet.<br/><br/>“Easier to have a servant try at it than someone who has to be truthful.  I kind of noticed that, he said the deal was I get the book back and they leave us alone...And it was pretty clear that wasn’t all he was after.”  Remy had made it clear that his employer, queen, whatever-- wanted the spell book for her own intentions.  It could be as simple as the fact that James wanted it or something more sinister.  Lane had not dealt with the fae much and she was sort of grateful for that.  Even if they had to be truthful in some capacity, they were cunning and sly.<br/><br/>She looked down at their hands and squeezed his, perhaps because this felt like something more than a simple plan or conversation.<br/><br/>"I understand." Lane nodded, and even if he had not said, she got the sense there was a reason why he would not be going with them.  He looked tired again, like he had after he had tried to use her power for some kind of jolt.	This was some kind of goodbye.  She sucked in a breath and blew it out, moving to lay against the back of the bed with him.  There was no point in arguing now, it would serve no real purpose.  His daughter clearly meant more to him than his life and she understood that impulse to protect family.<br/><br/>"I'll tell Steve I need to head off for a bit, he can cover the shop while I'm gone."  She settled her head against his chest.  It still felt a little awkward, after all that had passed between them, but not bad.  The road ahead was uncertain and she might end up walking it alone, but they still had these last few moments together.  "Tomorrow."  She agreed, closing her eyes as well.
