It keeps them from noticing when I try something subtle and indirect.</em><br/><br/>He looked at the crystal, and then turned and pulled the bookcase closed behind him, before stuffing both bags of holding into the backpack. Once that was done, he turned back, drawing the revolver into his main hand, and putting his hand down. "Wow a dragon using modern world lingo. Did I ever tell you I find that REALLY hawt?"<br/><br/>He shot her a cheeky grin, and then placed his hand on the table. As he did so, and Aurelia started doing whatever to the table that would activate it, he felt an someone trying to reach out to him. He accepted the call, as it felt like the Queen.<em>Ma'am now is NOT...<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 24pt;">SNEEZE.</span></em><br/><br/>The sheer force of the command allowed no chance of resisting it, let alone trying to figure out why she had sent it. Instead, his hand came up and off the table as he sneezed so hard it felt like a lung was trying to evacuate through his nose, covering the nasal explosion out of sheer habit. His expression of horror was likely matched by Aurelia's as she and the Erinyes vanished, and he swore so sulfurously that he expected several demons to have spontaneously spawned from it. Instead, he immediately turned and kicked open the bookcase, as the crystals were nearly see through now, instead of pulsing the blow glow from before. The Queen had already released the connection, but he could still feel a sense of amusement and satisfaction at her sudden, apparent betrayal. Instead, he immediately reached out for Aurelia, still cursing under his breath as he ran for the entrance.<em>Get out! Don't wait for me, I can get back on my own!</em>
