Though unfortunately the best Duke could do to control this latest horrifying iteration of Haven fuckery was restrain himself to a stalk as he went after her.
She wouldn't be able to convince him of her lack of trouble anymore. He could sense it in her; not just the unusual resistance to radiation that set his old trouble off. He could specifically sense the aether.
And he -- or the lizard brain part of him now fully under the sway of his own aether -- wanted it.
