[quote=@January] [@Letter Bee] [b]Mikhail does not know that Nico's magic amplifies/diminishes others' magic. Please edit that part of the post.[/b] As for whether Nico cares all that much about what Mikhail does given that Nico defied his own hatred of Donovan to do this, I'll let you know soon. [/quote] Ah, this part: [quote]"Don't hurt Nico," Mikhail warned. "Don't do anything bad to him or I will follow through on my own threat." Mikhail's voice lost its bite, due to the fact that he was unable to muster much passion in the unnatural calm given by Donovan [b]and amplified by Nico[/b]. And because Mikhail's voice lost its bite, he wasn't able to stop Donovan from shouting to the rest of the class to calm down - then again, that part was agreeable. Then came something that, without passion to blind him, was actually a sound proposition from the bullying redhead.[/quote] Will edit.
