   Summary

   "I still have my powers, idiot," he snapped, lobbing a pointer finger Robert's way. "Don't you think for a second that I can't use them any time I want to."

   Robert inclined his head in Flambae's direction. "That's the thing, though, isn't it? You need everyone to think that you can't." He side-eyed him soberly. "To think you're someone you're not. And not just for a second—for days. Weeks. Months."

   The blinds slithered across the windows, wreathing the room in a dim, smothered light. Flambae narrowed his eyes.

   Robert shook his head slowly. "Doesn't take very long for that to get really, really, really old."
