He does (bring a guest this time).
The door closes on Doc's bellow of a greeting and the woman with him is not (entirely, but almost) a stranger here. Do the Cabal-members remember Kiara? Maybe, maybe not. It's irrelevant right now whether they recall this pagan with her essence like the thrum of blood in their veins and the rich flush of Spring [Life, growth, rebirth]; she smells this night like the potent mixture of old, ancient magicks and earth. A different kind to what has been [is] conjured here.
She's come on the basis that: a) he leaves the house again after setting foot within it and b) it is Samhain.
That being all the Verbena would offer, but her dark eyes are narrowed from the moment they set foot within the threshold. She moves in his wake like a restless shadow. I don't like this place, had been Kiara's own greeting as they'd pulled up to it; staring with her fingers wound around her pendant in the drive as he hauled his bag out of the back seat.
You never have, he might have mentioned. A look could have been exchanged between them (maybe it was).
She came, anyway.
