Alicia seemed comforted by Rave's words, and the gentle glow from her eyes and the pleasant colours of her hair definitely had a calming effect on her.<br/><br/>The Master favoured Rave with an amused smirk as she spoke. "You really think -" he began, and was startled by the bolt of lightning springing from Rave's fingers. He twisted on his heels, but still caught the full brunt of the bolt in his chest. His suit absorbed some of the damage, evidently having some armour built into it, but he still staggered backwards from the intensity of the attack.<br/><br/>He hissed at Rave, his lips curling back to reveal wickedly pointed fangs. "You pathetic worm," he snarled. "<strong><em>Stand and watch as I punish your friend!</em></strong>" Rave felt the magical force of the command striking at her psyche, but Rave's skill at counterspelling kept her mind safe.<br/><br/>Alicia screamed and stumbled backwards from the sudden violence, then seemed to recover her presence of mind and threw herself behind the bed, out of the man's line of sight.
