We're nothing but mere inconveniences to them. They dislike that we are Zaunites, they dislike that we have learned to adapt in a way they don't enjoy, isn't that right? They found that they didn't like that Jinx had the gemstone, despite the fact that she hasn't used it against them.

I have a vial. Half will be spoken for. It's refined shimmer, hardly the concoction you consumed the first time. A high, but a half dose, while still potent, will not leave you in the state you were before. A full dose will not either.
