Within the laberinth of his mind, Zixx was cursing himself for not watching the demon's thoughts more carefully... And now, it could not sense it at all. It had certainly teleported, not gone invisible. The new girl, Verena, she called herself... His warlock half could positively TASTE the raw volumes of magical enchantment which clung to her very being... She was saturated, at the least. As he flouted back to the ground, landing near the resident saint, he walked with hands behind his back, moving in a heel-toe fashion, shounders squared and head held high.<br/><br/>He continued to scrutinize her in secret, scanning her mind, or trying to...

Into Ariel's mind, and her's alone, he whispered, <You, smell the fish too, do you not?> As they were ordered to take hiding, he did not move, not visibly...
