"It's a persistent poison Nix, with no antidote." Yena's lips curved in a smile. "You don't have to say something like that."

Nix shrugged and squeezed her hand. Yena had hit her target from a hundred meters away, despite having an arrow sticking out of her shooting eye. Anyone else would have stayed down and died. "Fine, I'm here on someone else's behalf."
