said the celestials were hassling Kadrix , and he was out-numbered. I wasn't overly keen on the elf, but I wasn't going to stand by and allow celestials to bother him. I changed into sensible clothes while shouting the scant details I had to Lysander. I hopped through the living room , pulling on my second boot before I slipped my blades into their sheathes and ran out the door.  

    We stormed into the workshop. If Quin was concerned enough to call in back-up , then I saw no reason not to go in all guns blazing. Lysander was hot on my heels. He quickly snarled when we saw the celestials clustered around Kadrix. Quin was standing half in front of Kadrix, but he was out-numbered. I barged past the books and knocked over a bottle of something on my path to Kadrix. The celestials didn't acknowledge our presence until I pushed Tiel back and put myself between them and Kadrix. Lysander rooted himself at my side , forming a clear barrier between them and the elf. The expression on Zair's face soured as he looked over my head to Kadrix.  
    "This does not involve you , Evelyn."
    "You're hassling my twin's lover, it concerns me."  
    His hand moved down to his hip . Lysander was on him in a flash. There was a blur of motion mixed with snarling and shouts in a tongue I didn't recognise. It ended with Lysander pinning the larger creature to the floor by the throat, with Zair's eyes narrowed and his hands balled into tight fists. Tiel laughed and gave a little clap of amusement.  
    Ioel simply said , "Really?"
    Zair's eyes flashed gold when Lysander's grip tightened around his throat .  
    "Hound , " I said softly.
    Lysander pushed off from Zair's throat as he stood , leaving a nice bright pink mark and causing Zair to cough a few times while Lysander returned to my side.  
    "Why are you bothering my alchemist?" I said coolly.
    Zair brushed himself off and shot Lysander a look that I'm quite sure he wished could kill. "You really should train your hound."
    I smiled sweetly. “He's perfectly trained."
    I felt Lysander stand a little taller , preening.  
    Tiel's mouth spread into a delighted grin. "I haven't had this much fun in a long time, I'd have come down to this plane sooner had I have known."
    "Answer my question,” I snarled.
    "Evelyn, it's nothing to concern yourself over. They have what they want,” Kadrix said.
    I ignored him and continued to glare at Zair.  
    The celestial gave a small shrug and made a show of inspecting his nails. "You heard the elf."
    "And I asked you a question , " I said.
    He pursed his lips and rolled his eyes. "It is nothing to do with you."
    Tiel stepped a little closer to us, causing Lysander to snarl once more. "Actually, Quin and Evelyn are at the heart of everything."
    He watched our reactions with a delicate smile. I resisted the urge to punch his pretty mouth.  
    "Stop baiting us and tell us what you know, and what you want."
    His eyes held mine . "And where would the fun be in that?"
    I smiled as sweetly as I could manage . "You'd keep your balls for one..."
    He laughed. “What a quaint threat. Don't lie to yourself Evelyn, you wouldn't be able to resist doing far more fun things should your hands slip that low."
    Lysander punched him.  
    Tiel rubbed his jaw and said, "Possessive little thing , isn't he?"
    Lysander began snarling and went to punch him again.  
    I held up my hand . "Enough."
    He growled under his breath , but put his hand down. Zair muttered something about uncivilised beasts.  
    "Answer our questions. Why are you bothering Kadrix, and what was that shit about Quin and I being at the heart of things?"
    Zair gave me a smirk and vanished; Ioel vanished with him.  
    Tiel sighed melodramatically, the smile still fixed on his face. "Looks like you won't be getting those answers. Sorry."
    He vanished , too.  
    I spun on my heel, crossed my arms, and fixed my darkest glare on Kadrix. "Well?"

    Kadrix had refused to say anything, simply waving me off. Quin gave me a
