I exhaled hard, then trotted down the stairs, gesturing at his temple. "Did Abyzou do that?"
"Yep. Compounded by your idiot brother. He clocked me when I stopped him from getting involved." Kane's jaw tightened. "If I hadn't been worried about protecting his ass, I might have taken Abyzou down. As it was, she got away."

Toxic to humans, too. I couldn't touch him until he'd showered.
