She followed him. " They all would. "

Isiea doesn't say anything else.

They burst into a brightly lit square with a marble fountain in the center. People wandered down the sidewalks. Surely, Virus wouldnt attack them here, in front of all these eyewitnesses. Faeries could blend in or go invisible, but humans, especially mobs of humans, had no such power.

Ash slowed, catching Lise's hand and tugging her arm to slow her down. "Walk," he murmured. "Don't run, it'll attract their attention."

The crowd chasing them broke apart at the edge of the street, wandering around as if they had always meant to do so.

Virus floated into the square, her bugs swarming out in all directions. A policeman was leaning beside his squad car. Surely he could help.

She slowed down, walking beside Ash. She could go to the policeman, but how could he deal with someone he couldn't even see?

Isiea remains on Ares.

Surely he would notice all the humans with pipes and knives and such

Ares walks, definitely very fidgety

She strokes his neck and nose.

That helps, but only a little.

She does her best to keep him calm.

He might. She wasn't exactly sure.
