This time, she can't hold back the shiver that travels all the way up her spine. Oh, this is bad. This is very, very bad. The last time someone tried to take over the Nexus, there was so much death and destruction. What horrors would this god bring?
She wants to insist that she isn't lying, but the only sound she makes is a startled gasp when Sara slams Jeff into the ground. She listens, mortified, while the witch pokes at all of Jeff's metaphorical sore spots. What kind of a mentor is this woman? Why is she so determined to hurt her disciple?
When Jeff finally speaks again, she understands.
"I'd never laugh at someone trying to change," she says to Sara, her voice trembling with the effort. "Is that what you need to convince him, that he's terrible and everyone hates him? So you can get him to do what you want?"
She looks at the man on the ground, in his twisted mask and gaudy suit. "Jeff, I know you don't really want this." Her tone is pleading. "Not if she has to belittle you to get you to do it. Please, don't listen to her. You have a chance to stop this before it goes too far."
