The shifting darkness was too similar to her shadow for her to entirely believe it was real. The true form was like something out of her imagination… A hallucination then. One feeding on her thoughts of the current situation. Or not? Out of the corner of her eye Tuyen watched Shane raise a gun towards the skeleton, overpowered by the light that Tansy seemed to someone. She squinted to allow her to still see and turned back towards the unwelcome visitor. Her shadow was eerily silent in its presence… Perhaps because it had no need to create hallucinations when something just like them was already there. Was it an apparition? That seemed most likely from what she knew. She didn’t trust it and was glad that the Vanburen’s seemed to feel the same way. But who was this? Magic hadn’t come back so long ago… how come James Vanburen seemed to know so much, and had acquaintances like this. [color=MediumSlateBlue]”Can you stop fucking glowing,”[/color] Trisha complained, forcing herself to get over the shock of seeing a weird skeleton man who came out of the shadows. It frightened her, but that just bought out even more nastiness from her… And deep down somewhere she trusted Shane to protect her. A disgusting thought, to trust family, but it was there. She narrowed her eyes at the skeleton. [color=MediumSlateBlue]”What are you, some kind of supernatural stalker? Just because you knew our dear father doesn’t mean you can just show up spouting nonsense as if you know everything.”[/color] Tuyen took a step to the side, so she was still behind Shane but able to see around his glowing figure that had blocked her vision. She wanted to be ready, just in case, because she couldn’t just summon up her abstraction in advance. All of the questions she’d want to ask had already been said by Tansy and Shane. So she just kept a steady gaze on the skeleton, keeping her voice neutral. [color=MediumOrchid]“Don’t take us too lightly.”[/color] As if she had any confidence in the rest of their ability to take on something like this if it came to it, with their lack of supernatural experience. [color=MediumOrchid]“Just because you knew their father doesn’t make you trustworthy.”[/color] It was directed to the three Vanburen’s as well, just in case - to not trust what it said.
