It was a good thing that Kon pulled Eric's attention away when he did, though it was possible that Eric would have missed or dismissed the way Nico's eyes flashed magenta.
How dare he do this. How dare he do this to her.
Even with the Staff of One stored away in an unusual manner and the rules being different due to getting hauled through holes in reality and transformed, there were some times when Nico's magic didn't need the usual accoutrements.
If anyone caught a glimpse of a faint corona forming around Nico, or thought that there was something odd about the way she moved as she pulled herself up while Eric was distracted, it was instantly forgotten when she tore her way up the trainer's nearer arm like a cat up a tree, bracing a booted foot against the bar she'd just been hanging off so that she could shove him against the railing on the other side of the bridge and go for his face with both hands.
"YOU DON'T GET TO DO THAT TO ME!" she howled, furious and spitting and revelling in the blood, someone else's blood, under her fingernails. "NO ONE GETS TO DO THAT TO ME!"
