[Rachel does at least have the decency to grimace when the hail stone hits him in the face. She might offer him her pain amulet, but she can't let her focus drop too much, otherwise she'll lose the circle.
She draws a soft breath as he moves closer. He never saw her spell,she knows, and even if he had he wouldn't have seen this. Did they talk about what she is? Well, she thinks they had to, given the peculiarities of witch anatomy. But had she really explained it? She can't remember, really. She swallows softly, before lifting her chin high]
A protection circle. I've been... working for a few months now so I don't have to draw one on the ground before I put it up. I just have to draw on a line to have the energy to do it and say the trigger word. [she smiles ruefully] I wasn't sure it'd actually work, since I just remembered how to do it. That damn car accident.
[she lets out a soft breath. She appreciates his concern, really. There is a part of her, after all, that still has a knight in shining armor complex. But now that she's remembered Kisten, who almost worships her strength and praised her for kicking demon ass, she can't let herself fall into those fantasies. If nothing else, she can't risk Nyx or anyone else getting hurt--and she can't let herself get close to Nyx in that way again, no matter how nice his butt is]
I can do a lot of other things too. If I need to, I'll...start a small fire, just to send someone to check out what's going on if things really hit the fan. And I've got handcuffs in my bag. I'll be fine. ['Fucked In the Extreme' she can hear Ivy saying, and has to keep herself from laughing, because that's probably closer to the truth of it. But she can't turn away from someone in danger, and she can't drag someone else into her stupid half baked plan]
