EVIE
His assurances do little to fully appease her, but it's enough to smooth her hackles and take her out of crisis mode. It still bothers her that even if something were to happen to Sam, even in a situation where she may need to reveal herself to save his life, she would not be granted the ability. It's a helplessness that she can't help but despise. Especially after Sam had been injured over LongNight and his only option to become whole again was to go to his Goddess. For all the power she'd supposedly been granted, she was still the last possible choice when lined up alongside the Gods who had already forsaken her.
She is jolted fiercely from her thoughts as a sudden pounding on her door shakes the frame and echoes like thunder in the small space. "What the-?" As the bottom gives way the creatures become visible, and she stares stupidly at them as they throw themselves senselessly against the wood, crushing it beneath their hardened exteriors. Vampire gourds? Before she even has a chance to question it aloud or reach for something to beat them back with, Sam is moving closer. Evie jolts, instinctively reaching for his shirt to grab and try to pull him back, but there's no point as he does...something. Electricity fills the air, making her hair try to stand and giving her the sensation of sparks against the roof of her mouth and along her arms.
Staring helplessly at the wreckage of pumpkin guts, shredded wood, and dirt outside her doorway, Evie runs a hand through her loose copper hair. "That's...certainly a convenient trick. Thank you. I've never seen them act like that." She can't help but wonder why they'd attacked in the first place, and why her shop in particular. "Maybe we should go further inside? Did you need something?" Clearly he was here for a reason, and at least they'd be able to hear the gourds crossing the wooden floor if they were deeper in the shop. Though their path of destruction would unfortunately only lengthen.
