"I wonder if he's fae. Or a demon. Some spirits really appreciate trapping folks in contracts, too. Might could be a djinn." Dan gives the back of Bunny's hand a kiss. "Thank God you're stubborn and can't be motivated by a dollar."
A more venal or persuadable version of Bunny would have been disaster for everyone, but Dan doesn't think that version of Bunny exists. Not his, not the one that lived in this universe and got captured, not in any universe. It feels like having an iron spine and a decent set of priorities is almost as close to Bunny's center as hope itself.
"One with a happy ending, I hope." Dan kneads his free hand into the blankets in a self-soothing motion. "Already been enough people died here. Let's see we keep it to as little bloodshed as possible. I'm worried about the power players, obviously, but I'm worried as much about the townsfolk and whether folks will consider them an acceptable loss."
