[Sigh.]

I know very well that you can, but also that you won't because my boyfriend is your cousin, and you don't want to make him angry.

[Jane hasn't seen Hypnos as angry as he was that day since, though she doesn't regret for a single moment having told him what had happened between herself and Caster. She isn't the kind of woman who likes the idea of living in fear and certainly would have dealt with it one way or another.

And perhaps Caster had learned a lesson about not threatening people when they're dating a god.]

And if I was going to laugh at you I would have done it, but I'm not so crass as that. Now hold still. [The brush of her fingertips to the orbit of Caster's eye is light and brief, and will come with a faint glow in the other woman's peripheral as she applies a touch of healing magic to the bruising.]

There, does that feel better?
