Here’s a little more of ‘Waiting for Rebirth’, right where we left off on Wednesday. Ever say something you regret? Christopher just did. Now, he and Damian are facing a very angry Duessa Ashelocke, which might be worse than a playfully predatory Duessa Ashelocke.
This is a little longer than six sentences, pardon me. (bows)
“You used light?” Duessa asked. Her shape swelled, growing against the wall. She ignored Gabrielle and myself. She fixed her attention on Damian, making the very air vibrate with her outrage. “Against shadows?”
“Of course not!” Damian tried to laugh, but it came out shaky. “I know I’m a bit of a rebel, as far as the Ashelockes are concerned, but I’m not that much of a deviant!”

Love the humour after all the tension, looks like it was shortlived though. Gosh Duessa is intense isn’t she

“not that much of a deviant.” Makes me wonder how much of a deviant he is.

Much more of one Damian wants to reveal to his aunt. 🙂

Now I want to know why its deviant to use light against shadow.

Ashelockes take pride in being creatures of darkness or controlling creatures of darkness. Using light isn’t done.

Love the shaky laugh. Makes me suspicious that he’s guilty of something, even if not what she’s suggesting. 🙂

Thank you! Damian Ashelocke is guilty of many things. 🙂

Did he use light against shadows, though? I mean, I’d lie in that situation. (Sorry for late comment.)

Quite all right. This is how Duessa interpreted what Christopher said. Christopher was referring to his own experience when he first saw Damian (see the beginning of ‘Waiting for Rebirth’)
