Mai looked at her, "Think he could?" he paused, "would have to be before they leave." He smiled, "Maybe if works, could teach you a little magic. Much easier to control than mutations. Just takes more energy."<br/><br/>-------------------------<br/><br/>Reina smirked, "I'm going alright. I guess, especially when the white starts to take over, Mai's the lover, I'm the fighter. That and I'm already P.O.'d at this Aiso guy. Besides," she said, "you can't leave two monsters with only one stabilizer." Reina paused and looked at him for a moment. "There's something I want you to see," she dragged him off to the side and they found a bench. "The white is my curse," she said, "But it also protects me. It wants to kill, so it keeps me from dying until the time it takes over. It might make more sense if you see it."<br/><br/>Reina reached up and touched her hand to Lestat's face. Her hair rapidly took on white streaks, but... she wasn't dying. Reina removed her hand while there was still a fair amount of black. "Any time I take damage," she said, "the white compensates for it." She smiled slightly, "I can touch you. But," she said, "the white can only compensate by taking the place of the black. So... when it's all white... that's the time when I need to kill. But also the only time I can be killed."<br/><br/>--------------------------<br/><br/>Insei was looking through records of people who'd joined the resistance.
