“I know,” Caiban insisted. “That is my point. Nothing is for certain anymore. Why are you looking at me like that?”
Misha groaned and sat back in his chair. “Oh, no.”
“What?” Caiban demanded.
“You’re jealous,” Misha sighed. “No, don’t deny it. I know you far too well. I can’t believe it.”
Caiban opened his mouth but Misha gave him a warning look. “Look,” Caiban said finally. “Have you seen her? I know she’s a woman but by the Gods, she’s – ”
“Let me stop you right there,” Misha said. “Just tell me,” he continued, “that you can handle this.”
“I can,” Caiban promised.
“And you will not to get too involved?”
Caiban looked solemnly at Misha. “I swear not to engage myself to such an extent that I will be unable to protect her.”
Misha rolled his eyes. “By which you mean to say you’re already going soft on me.”
“I am not – ”
“Oh, shush.” Misha waved a hand and turned his face away. “Prove it to me instead. I have a feeling that soon, you’ll get the chance.”
Caiban leaned forward. “How?” he asked. “What do you mean? Is she in danger?”
“The broken pattern worries me,” Misha said, “and Carver’s report didn’t help. She seems oblivious to what’s going on.”
“That doesn’t mean all is lost,” Caiban argued.
“True,” Misha said, “but the odds of surviving the duel is usually fifty-fifty. If she’s as scatterbrained as she seems, we’re in trouble.” He paused. “Worse, with the ritual falling apart, no one knows what will happens if she loses.”
Caiban was silent. “I would love to say you’re wrong,” he said eventually. “But I see your point.”
“Good,” Misha replied. “Then look after her once she’s back in New York. She may think this was a strange experience, but she hasn’t seen anything yet.”
