Hell's Bells, she had a point. If Usagi was more powerful even than her... Well. I'd had a very small few run-ins with people who had power on that scale. Faerie queens. Fallen angels. The Erlking. He Who Walks Behind. The Archangel Uriel. The Naagloshi.

The one thing all of these people had in common? I didn't trust one of them. Not as far as I could throw them. And so, of course I'd want to determine exactly how much of a threat they were. I might hesitate to use the Soulgaze, after what happened today, but I might just as easily attempt something else. She wasn't wrong about my world, of course, and her offering up subtle threats and hints like that was honestly starting to make me feel almost at home.

I sort of felt as if I should protest, that most didn't feel it was an invasion, that some even welcomed the kind of openness that a soulgaze brought, but it was, of course, totally irrelevant. It didn't really excuse what I'd unwittingly done, and if I could make up for it by helping them out, so be it.
