Nathan stepped forward and tucked Sasha behind him with a swift arm. “No dice, Walt,” he said with a glare, wondering if his indignancy was enough to bring out his red eyes. “I’m not giving this up just coz me being an incubus ‘might’ affect the outcome of the war. We’re still gonna fight, and that’s just gonna have to be good enough for your boss up there. You can’t take this away from us.”
“No. I cannot,” Walter said, some of his sternness giving way to something like pity. “I do not have that power under these circumstances. But Puck does. He could reverse it. If he is honest about being an ally, then he will do just that. You must understand the importance of this, Nathan. The importance ofyou.”
