"I-If you say so, elfie." Shace looked like she was in pain.

Luke reflexively squeezed Shace’s hand. Evident worry seeping across his face as his ears drooped. “You okay, Shace?”

Shace rolled her eyes, patting Luke. "I was."

Luke looked at Shace in confusion, allowing himself to be pet. “Are you in pain?”

Valerie looked at the werewolf, "I can help you if you are?"

"I'm fine!" Shace stared at them, bemused. "Did your sense of humor die?"

"No, just confused that's all," Valerie responded.

“You’re too good an actor.” Luke complained, relaxing immediately. “You’re banned from teasing.”

Shace shrugged. "Only if you stop too." She turned to Rheyna. "So how are you going to start your new life?"

Rheyna hadn't thought that far yet. "I don't know. I guess I could just follow you guys around, as much as I would hate that."

“You’ll get used to us eventually.” Luke grinned, his ears flicking upwards.

"Yeah, you keep thinking that." Rheyna responded, smiling ever so slightly.

“How’d you recognize my whistle anyways?” Luke looked up at Rheyna with confusion written all over his face.

Rheyna sighed. I guess it's time to reveal why I'm a halfblood. "Well the first time I just followed it because it seemed interesting. The next time you whistled, I recognized it from before. Sirens can remember notes, or in this case whistles, pretty easily."

“You’re a siren? That’s awesome!” Luke’s eyes lit up. As if on cue, he let out his strange, low whistle.

Rheyna was pleasantly surprised by Luke's response. "Usually when I tell people I'm a siren they stop trusting me because of the whole manipulation ability thing." She admitted.

“Well, yeah. There’s that, but you clearly didn’t use it on us this whole time. And if you didn’t use it then than you must not use it unless you absolutely have to.” Luke noted, his ears twitching as he thought out the whole thing.

"I haven't used it in years, so even if I did it would only work for a few minutes." Rheyna told him plainly.

“It’s stil cool. I can cast illusions, but it drains me a lot.” He explained, shrugging.

Rheyna sighed. "Yeah, my persuasion drains me too. That's why I haven't used it in so long. It also kind of feels like cheating."

“It’s definitely cheating.” Luke agreed without protest. “Sometimes cheating means living though.”

"I would expect Valerie or Ivy to say something like that, not you." Rheyna said. "I also didn't expect you to agree with me just now."

Luke shrugged and dropped his smirk as he grew a little more serious. “I’ve got a few surprises up my sleeve. You know I’m legally dead in two cities? Or my aliases are, at least.”

Rheyna widened her eyes. "Really? I didn't expect you of all people to do stuff like that. Are you sure you're not part siren? You're pretty good at deception."

“I mean, I was sorta raised by conmen. So that helped a bit. As far as legal documents show I’m a pure elf.” Luke’s ears flicked as he squeezed Shace’s hand again.

"If we still want a group name how about The holy ones." Ivy said sarcastically

Rheyna shrugged, turning to Ivy. "It's better than anything Luke came up with."

"I was kidding. We need something better what about Reflection? Or Hazard, Pure, Kinghts, nightshade." She rambled off random names

Luke laughed. “That wouldn’t be the first time I’ve been called a hazard.”
