Islwyn was smiling at the purr of the engine, smug as he sank into the passenger seat. Then his smile vanished and he took a breath. Shit. Inside, the car smelled nothing like Neo or Andy. He twisted, glancing over his shoulder to the back seat where Aderyn had settled herself. She lifted her palms, her smile mocking him. Still. The mage sounded impressed. Good enough, right? Anyway after taking from the puca it was a simple thing, the electronics in the vehicle systems accepting magic as the energy they needed to respond.<br/><br/>Being called thieves made Aderyn start laughing. Even though he was feeling embarrassed Islwyn smiled as well. Aderyn caught her breath and stated cheerfully, "If you can't hold it, you don't deserve it." It was abundantly clear that the pair would be more than happy to steal anything that wasn't nailed down firmly enough if they wanted it.<br/><br/>"Nothing wrong with taking what you need. Monsters on the other hand, do things like... eat people." Islwyn's voice dropped suggestively on the last two words, turning it into a double entendre rather than a statement on evil. Aderyn started laughing again.<br/><br/>Her tone still full of laughter Aderyn agreed, "That does sound monstrous. I'd think that would probably terrify some."<br/><br/>Neither of the fae had put on seatbelts, and as Neo drove Islwyn settled sideways in his seat to watch him. Rather intently, like blinking was overrated and practiced only by lame humans. Aderyn opened the window, despite the cold, laughing when Neo terrified other drivers.<br/><br/>The abrupt halt made Islwyn react with that lightning speed, except that his hand slamming into the dash caused his airbag to go off, shoving him unexpectedly back. On the other hand, the giant balloon hid the impression his hand had made. Slicing the airbag with a knife to get it out of his way, Islwyn climbed out of the car, grumbling softly to himself. Aderyn on the other hand, had remained untouched by the sudden change. She'd already put her shield about her as Neo swerved around other cars to prevent herself from falling over onto the other occupants of the back seat. So she was able to slip gracefully from the car and treat her brother to another mocking glance.<br/><br/>Waiting for her brother to reclaim his dignity and settle ruffled feathers, Aderyn watched Raven and Andy follow Neo. She glanced at her brother and said just loudly enough, "Look how obedient their toy has become."<br/><br/>Islwyn flipped his knife into the air, flashing silver, before he put it away once more hidden under his cloak. Then he agreed, "Disappointing. Perhaps it grew some sense and remembered what happened to the rest of that dust?"<br/><br/>"I suppose that could make some pliant." Aderyn agreed thoughtfully and then began to finally stroll in a leisurely fashion after the others.<br/><br/>Islwyn moved at her side and then asked very, very softly, "We are going into this?"<br/><br/>An entire flock of human mages. Neo and Andy seemed to not mind the odd... irregularity. The others? Well they hadn't done anything to Neo or Andy. Could be humans stuck together. Could be they were all fine with a little grey in their magic. Or it could be dangerous. Who knew what talents, what knowledge the remaining mages held. Neo promised them nothing.<br/><br/>Aderyn slowed her steps further. Finally she said, "They want to solve this mystery." She argued one side.<br/><br/>He argued the other, "Will the other humans feel they require us to solve it?" Islwyn stopped and crossed his arms over his chest.<br/><br/>She stopped as well, glanced at the light pouring from the temple as Neo opened the door. "He approved you taking another human's car. We haven't hurt any of theirs. There is no reason not to want more aid."<br/><br/>"If there is someone in there who can See our truth? If there is someone who hates? Who knows our flaws? What then?" The question was at the core of things, and Islwyn put it into the open for consideration.<br/><br/>Aderyn tugged her plaid jacket around her, searching for her next argument, despite the chill his words sent through her. It was her duty to find those words and it didn't matter if she didn't want to go into a nest of humans. She wished she didn't know the next part because unlike the vampire, they knew enough to be concerned by what a human could do with magic in its hands. A few of them were no great concern, but a whole bunch? A deep breath, then she said the words, "Then we have some fun."<br/><br/>"I could never say no to fun." Islwyn flicked his cloak back from his shoulders, freeing his arms, revealing the weapons sitting at his hips. He'd repaired the rents to his shirt and so his armor was hidden once more.<br/><br/>Aderyn took one more deep breath, calm and center. Then she began walking again because there was nothing more to be said. However, nothing more needing to be said never stopped the pair from talking. So sounding cheerful she mimicked Neo<span style="font-style: italic">perfectly</span>, "Le's ride ta hell, mo'fuckah!"
