Racquel wasn't the quickest with it. He could feel when it reached her, and how it HAD started to affect her before it flickered suddenly, and he felt like the mana used for that was just severed. He could still feel the ability within, but he couldn't feel the mana that was currently used.

Moments later, he heard Racquel sink to her knees.

She was silent, just trying to recover from this little event. It really hadn't taken long at all.

He forced the mana back down, before racing towards where he'd heard Racquel drop.

"Miss Racquel!" he exclaimed.

"Are you all right!?" he asked.

'Damn it, damn it, damn it!' he cursed mentally.

"I'm so sorry!" he then apologised.

"How badly did it hurt you?" he asked her.

"Do you need medical attention?"

Racquel just laughed lightly.

"I'm all right." She told him honestly.

"Just... a bit drained, obviously." She added.

"But I really will be all right. Please, don't worry about that."

He sighed heavily in relief when he heard that.

"Oh, thank heavens." he said, falling onto his ass.

"Thank... just thank heavens." he repeated.

"Well, as you can tell, it got away from me." he muttered.

"I tried to hold it back once it got out, but... didn't work." he went on.

"I hate it." he then growled.

"That's exactly why you need to learn how to use it." Racquel told him honestly.

I didn't want to learn how to use my rune due to the reputation Fyrane's have, but... I was able to keep it under wraps far better once I did learn how to handle it." She continued.

"It's something that you can't suppress, it will burst out unexpectedly if you do."

Again, he let out a heavy, drawn-out sigh.

"...I can't argue that." he said.

"I really can't. You're right." he told her.

"I need to be able to do this." he said further.

"I need to know how to control this in order to keep it from bursting out." he went on.

"...at least YOU can overpower it." he then added.

"My rune may be locked down, but it's not complete." Racquel commented.

"I can do small bursts, but defintiely can't truly affect a soul." She added.

"Regardless, yes. We do know that I can cancel your netting." She agreed with a nod, some relief to her voice.

"That is most certianly good to know."

"..........yes." Julien replied.

"It IS good." he said.

"If anything had happened, Demitra would have legitimately killed me." he muttered quietly.

"...and I would have let her." he sighed.

"But... we know you can stop my own net from growing too much." he then said further.

"At the very least, you can save yourself and Demitra from me."

"Very true. She... probably would have." Racquel admitted.

"And I doubt it would have been pleasant." She added as she carefully got to her feet.

"At any rate, I do believe food tonight is on you and Demitra. I'm not so certain I could do it myself."

"That's fair." Julien replied.

"Just need to wait for her to return." he said.

"And... well, I suppose, since we haven't yet, we might as well swap tastings of each others drinks." he reasoned.

"My mead should be ready to drink." he said further.

"Should have been ready since... yesterday? I think?' he went on.

"Regardless. After that, you could probably use a drink more than ever."

"Very true." Racquel agreed with a light laugh.

"I'll get you my offering later. I ... doubt there's any here, to be honest." She added.

"But yes, I would love to try what you have to offer."

"Of course." Julien responded.

He then helped Racquel get into one of the comfier chairs where she could relax, before disappearing into the house. About a minute later, he came back with a bottle of mead, and a glass for her to drink it out of.

He handed her the glass and poured some gorgeous amber-coloured liquid into it, that smelled faintly of the berries that grew around their home.

"My first time making it with what grows around here." he told her.

"I think I managed to make it decent, but... well, an outsider's perspective is often more truthful." he reasoned.

"The one that made it is generally biased in one way or the other."

Racquel just chuckled lightly.

"That is very true." She agreed before trying some of it. She toko a little bit before saying anything about it, or seeming to react at all.

"Not too bad at all." She told him. "However, I do think it needs to sit for a bit longer."

Julien was silent, but nodded.

"All right, that's fair enough." he said.

"I'll let it rest for... another week or so, before trying it again." he told her.

"But the fact that you were so positive is already encouraging." he said further.

"Thank you." he then told her.

"It's been hard to get opinions for other people in the past." he said with a light laugh, though there was a hint of sadness under it.

"Well, it has real potential. That base has quite a bit of tastiness to it." Racquel assured him.

"Just leave it for a few more months and I'm sure you could sell it for quite a nice price if you so desired." She added with a light smile.

"Because I do think it will be quite a treat."

He paused when she said that.

"....months, right." he said.

"Ohhhh, this is WAY to early to consider being seriously tasted, then." he commented.

"...least I know now it has the potential." he went on.

He then looked at her, and sighed quietly.

"What would you like to drink for right now?" he asked.

"I'll get it for you." he offered.

Racquel just chuckled lightly.

"Yeah, you've got a bit." She commented.

"As for right now, I'm not sure." She admitted.

---

It took a few months before Julien manned up and spoke to Demitra about his feelings for her, and she took it well, even admitted she reciprocated it. That wasn't something too surprising, after all. Anyone could see it.

That night, they had gotten even closer.

Sometime later, Demitra has gone to speak with Emma, before being told what was going on. Once finding out, she jmade her way to where her cousin was, knocking on the door of his mini office. She didn't know if he was in there, though.

"....door's open." her cousin responded, his voice a bit... ominous, and on the warning side.

When she opened the door and peered in, she saw her cousin glaring at her... before it suddenly softened.

"Oh, it's you." he said.

"Good." he said further, heaving a heavy sigh of relief.

"I have had it up to HERE with Torch and Nighthawk squabbling with each other, and always coming to ME to break it up or take sides." he told her.

"FOUR times so far today!"

Demitra was silent for a moment, not sure what it was that she was supposed to say there before shrugging.

"Next time they come, take a side that is neither of theirs." She commented.

"It's an idea, at least."

"I'm on the verge of it." Ashley shrugged.

"Pretty sure the side I'll take next time is the 'tired of your crap, scram before you're thrown out' side." he growled.

"Anyway, come on in, have a seat." he offered.

She nodded and came in, shutting the door and making her way to one of the chairs, sitting down in it.

"So what's up?' he asked.

"There someone you want to fire a complaint about, seeing as it seems that's my new role here in the guild?" he asked.
