[KQ] The Breaking Point

Lucas clever as the devil and twice as pretty ”Oh. Oh I see,” Lucas murmured, aware only that his mind was not working quite as it should and that something within him was telling him that he absolutely would die here if he didn’t leave. He thought briefly of calling out to the Voice, to petition for help from what was essentially a higher power in this realm, but of course pride prevented him. The snake, too, offered little in the way of solutions, and Lucas was about to hiss a curse under his breath when the warrior woman abruptly did something that seemed simultaneously brave, stupid and meaningless. What precisely was jumping into the light meant to achieve? Did she know something the rest of them didn’t? Either way, Lucas was all about self preservation. ”More fool you, girl,” he called over his shoulder, having turned away even before Roana had jumped. His body was not obeying orders as efficiently as it had been, and his tongue felt too thick in his mouth. It was a clumsy and foggy sighted Lucas that staggered from the room, splashing his way away from glory and treasure and heading up towards clear air and freedom. He could apologise to the Voice later. Lucas withdraws from the KQ! Fuck that.
