He side eyed the intruding woman, his bronze orbs capturing her. Inside the folds of the large hood Faeri hid the placidity that smoothed his face.

[b]"Have the humans showed you their sins already, bared their fangs at you for being different? It was only a matter of time, which is what I was trying to warn you about earlier."[/b]

One declared me guilty of verbally hanging you... and they saw fit to do the same to me, without even considering the truth or looking for it.
