Messed up? [i]Messed up?![/i] She hasn't messed up! Her only mistake had been grabbing a sword that she hadn't known was hexed. The whole stabbing thing was not. her. fault. and that was a line she would repeat with all the certainty of the [s]bratty tween[/s] mature, young adult that she was.

"It might not be such a bad idea ... no really." she says, noting the expression on Petony's face. "I mean, sure, I sort-of-accidentally stabbed Ushua, and there's [i]probably [/i]a few bad feelings about that - but maybe it's an opportunity to at least explain it to Peregrine before I have to explain it to Ushua. Who knows, as a witch, maybe she can tell me more about whatever spell it was, and whatever it was that was cast on me afterwards."

"Maybe help me get it out ..." She sighs, speaking almost to herself for a moment before raising her voice again to address Petony. "And even if this Peregrine hates me for what happened. It's probably something that I need to face into at some point, might as well get it over with now."

"As for the whole summoning idea, we can give that a go but let's make sure we actually get a bad one? I mean, something about summoning a demon just to bind it smacks of walking up to someone on the street and punching them just because they come from the Dominion."
