Lara scowled. The boy had no control at all. He was getting just as swept away as Michael was.

"Both, actually." She hissed quietly and allowed her will to flow forward over them both until they were staring right at her. The change came over her quickly and she rolled her shoulders as her scales appeared, flowing down her arms and up her neck, crystalising at the corner of her eyes which went slitted and snakelike. Her teeth narrowed down to points and she smiled. "And now I'll have to sever your connection for you because you clearly can't control yourself."

She looked at Michael and filtered through his lust for her to find the tether that bound him to Bach, separating it neatly before pulling her own influence away leaving Michael standing blinking at her. "Thank you Michael. Take tonight off or you can call up Darcy if you'd prefer. She's working tonight but not til later. You've gone above and beyond as usual."

Michael ran a hand through his hair and grinned. "Darcy? She's back?"

Lara grinned and nodded, wrapping her taloned hand around Bach's arm, keeping him at a distance. "She's been asking about you. It'd be her pleasure as well as yours."

Michael let out a small whoop and raced away. Lara laughed as he passed.

"I'm going to let you go now, Bach. Pay attention to how I do it if you can." She started to draw her will away slowly, wicking it away bit by bit so as not to jar him.
