Green eyes widened with affronted incredulity as he stared at her. He simply couldn't believe it. How dare she tell him "no"?
Mahon's frown deepened, his chin dipping low as he glared balefully at her, jerking his sword at her in a heated pointing gesture. "You said you would help me! You said, we would watch the tv and the internet for signs of him! You said you would help me stop him! Now, you refuse...because it is a long time to travel there?! Because you fear these police and their arrows? I do not fear them! I will cut every man down who dares stand in my way!"
His words came out on a ragged growl of fury, his sword lowering as he closed the distance between them, standing nose to nose with Mara, glowering down at her. "I fought through the hell of Inovok and Tyagana," he said, his voice going low as he invoked the names of Gammon's deadliest outposts. "Filled to the brim with demons, goblins, and flesh eating monsters, I sliced through millions of them, flayed them where they stood, gutting the vilest of his forces." Sometimes on the point of exhaustion. They had been hard, gritty, nightmarish months fighting through the darkest parts of Gammon's kingdom to the shadow keep, the center of it all.
"Don't pretend to protect me, m'lady," Mahon said softly. "Especially when this world possesses no warriors such as myself. Demons couldn't keep me from Gammon, I doubt men can. Now, you will do as you promised me and take me to Lafayette to face my destiny."
He was hard and stubborn, glaring down at her, his chin jutting obstinately, sword gripped at his side. Claw's moonstone flickered as it hummed in his hand, urging both people to bring it to the enemy it so desperately wished to taste the blood of.
