She nodded with a frown that crossed her face. That’s exactly what happened. The difference, however, being that while Rory had the force of the Naturals behind him, he wasn’t as deadly as the Spire Demon. And she hoped deep down he had enough resolve to not kill someone over it. He seemed intelligent enough to realize what it was he was doing. And even if Rexanna knew and could understand, it still didn’t make it right. She inhaled deeply and continued to enjoy the warmth Remi offered, despite the circumstances. “I have to talk to him, at some point. I hope when things calm down.” She began, sighing through her nose.But Remi questioned of the standoff, and she nodded once more. Because that was exactly what this was. “He targeted me at the gathering, used me as his target to peg all of his anger on. But… He spoke as if we went out of our way to ruin their lives. How we disregard their rules and advice.” She looked back up to catch his eye. “I told him that I was the reason he and Jigano were still alive. I let them in on Longnight after they fixed the perch – ignoring their warnings.” She said, a considering look crossing her face before she was forced to look away. “He didn’t take it well. And the Naturals, for the most part, are on his side. Few are friendly now. Even Phoebe’s boyfriend broke up with her because of it.” She sighed, closing her eyes for a moment.
“Deimos and I have been searching for the reason of why the barrier is there. And I think it would be important to involve the Naturals in whatever else happens.” She looked back to Remi with a sad look across her face. “I think them not being involved with the fight is what started it.” She resulted, frowning at the idea but continuing to hold Remi close. “I am unsure of how long they can hold out before they leave.”
