Including knife and pistol<br/><br/><hr/><br/>"Coming." Soldier was a nickname, which Kevin knew Mal was using to put him at ease. Which she knew he'd need. One thing that unnerved Kevin about Kyless was precisely that you couldn't really see her. You saw what she wanted you to see. It was a lot easier to deal with demons that bothered to look you in the eye. The fact that she chose to make her illusions bright and vibrant today could be interpreted both optimistically and pessimistically. Optimistically, it meant she was in a generally happy mood, and less likely to intend harm. Pessimistically, it showed she was in a mood to play.<br/><br/>And it certainly did not help that in this case, Kevin had to come in behind Mallory. But it really was better for all concerned. Mal had managed some sort of working relationship with the demon that Kevin, let alone his superiors could never manage. He had asked himself on more than one occasion if their policies of limiting Kyless's access was as smart in reality as it looked on paper, but then again, being nice always seemed to end up with a rogue illusion demon on the loose, so there you go.<br/><br/>Still, even given all his misgivings, he had to admit that the demon did what she did quite well. "Yes, Mal. This is impressive. Oz looked pretty good too until the flying monkeys started getting too close."<em>Note to self. Find out if there's a way Kyless got her claws into the library. There's a lot of potential for problems there.</em>He took careful steps, serving as the very shadow the demon so often accused him of being. It took effort to keep his hands away from his weapons, but discipline was a habit ingrained from childhood, and in this case, discipline better served him by enforcing restraint.<br/><br/>"So Kyless, what's the inspiration this time? This is fun and all," fun being the last word he'd actually consider it, "but the Doctor does need to see you so she can take her data. If you'd be so kind." Because truth be told, the further Mallory walked into the illusions, the more nervous he got.
