Cymbeline saved Harlequin, but explaining how that came about could wait until she was aware of the basics involved with being one of the Awakened. Until then Harlequin wasn't about to complain about having pretty girls worry over him. He smiled, Cymbeline was an incredibly attractive young woman, but the title of hero probably wasn't terribly suitable for him. He was too manipulative and underhanded to consider himself a hero. He'd never had to put himself in harm's way before, well, not without an easy way out. The combination of a stunning girl and a sense of duty compelled him to get himself cut up, but it seemed to have payed off in the end."Cymbeline, I'm just glad I was in the right place at the right time. The guy gave up when Thessaly and associates arrived. Must have thought the odds were against him at that point," that and Cymbeline hurled the guy into a car after blasting him with magic frost, "I'm never be able to turn my back on a damsel in distress."At this point he couldn't exactly say he was just doing his job, although he would have gone out of his way to help Cymbeline anyway. It was the eyes, he could never resist dark eyes. The question at this point was where Cymbeline had drawn that mystery power from. Harlequin had thought after the spell that she was a Mage, but clearly he was wrong. Had the use of magic (powerful magic for that matter) forced an Awakening? But then how could she have accessed the Supernal if she was a Sleeper? Harlequin's lack of understanding grated at him, magic was still new to him and there was so much to learn. Learning was made somewhat difficult when relations were becoming increasingly tense between him and his mentor. Personal matters aside, Thessaly knew Cymbeline better than Harlequin did, perhaps she would have an insight.</blockquote>
