"Oh, please, my mother can lie better than that. And she's Sidhe. And dead."
Ari mentally prepares himself, then opens his Sight to the world.
He quickly regrets it.
The device looks like the tidiest little attempted violation of the Seventh Law he's ever seen. Designed to go to... somewhere that's definitely not Earth or the Nevernever or even Heaven or Hell, which pretty much categorically means Outside. That's a problem.
And Alex, when he looks over, is an absolute horrorshow; cheerful as he is, he's been shattered and put together a hundred times. His soul is in splinters, held together by a corona of raw magic. And even though he looks like a human, there's something about him that just doesn't fit.
Ari forces his Sight closed, keeping up as good a poker face as he can. "Interesting little device. What the hell are you?"
