I know, I fought you in the dark
Perhaps the best thing about Cal’s reaction is that Wessex knows the Captain will be able to do all of this himself once they start biting and sharing powers. He’ll have his own flavor of illusion, different from herself and Neron - and the same will go for all of their siblings; they could be an army of mindfuckery and deception and that thought makes her want to literally inject her magic into everyone’s veins. But first - no, it is not the General bounding towards him - she’s still sitting there, spitting magic at him. He will feel the weight of the kitsune on him, but there are no more attacks coming, as, yes, it seems to disappear and then reappear with a thump behind him. Looking back a the Captain, the fox seems to wink and then disappear into the darkness.
Without much fuss or fanfare, Wessex shifts back into herself, save for a single black tail and its white tip.
