| have to fight the urge to bounce in place and squeal. | can’t wait! | rush to assure Bellamy that | will keep my potions safe. |can’t believe they're actually agreeing.
“Duh, of course. | don’t want to hurt anyone. Most of my potions are more of the silly prank. kind. Or have medicinal uses at therequest of Ella. It’s hard to get Shifter volunteers. | can test ones for Witches on myself. Humans, well... pretty much every spellworks on them and they’re similar enough to Witches biologically that it doesn’t make much difference. It’s the Shifters, Vampiresand other physically different magics that | have trouble with. Although I’ve made a lot of progress with my experiments on Incubilately.” | add as an afterthought. Harrison clears his throat loudly and crosses his arms over his chest.
“Excuse me?” He demands indignantly.“What?” | ask, as innocently as | can. It’s not like anyone will believe it but | may as wellmess with Harrison a little bit.
“Have you been experimenting with untested potions on me?” He asks. I’m fairly sure he’s pretending he didn’t realise. Surely hedidn’t think that | just happened to keep a potion. designed to make an Incubus able to speak just sitting around. Right?Continuing the joke, |
answer him.
“Nah, | test them out on the other Incubus who follows me around. No big deal.” Weirdly, he seems annoyed by this. Maybe hewanted me to confess to experimenting on him so that he can claim | owe him. Or maybe he just doesn’t like to share his toys.Either way, it seems like I’ve finally found a way to annoy him back. | could have some fun with this.
| trade details with Ryann and then the Alphas head off, taking their Oracle friend with them. Typically, Harrison stays behindleaving the two of us alone in my workshop. | could go and work the bar, but | already gave Cora the extra shift, so | might aswell ta
the chance to get a start on the tracking spell. | don’t have the personal item from the girl to use just yet, but | can start the baseof the spell. It takes a little bit of time to prepare because it has to sit for a while. | don’t even bother trying to chase Harrison outof my workroom. | doubt he would be willing to leave anyway, Instead, | put him to work pulverging one of the ingredients with mymortar and pestle. | sort of expect him to do a terrible job and that I'll have to re-do it but to my surprise he is actually prettythorough. | use gin as a base (because why not) and start.

combining the base ingredients in a jug. Sure, traditional Witches are all about a cauldron, but this mixture doesn’t need to beboiled. In fact, not a lot of them do, and a regular cooking pot would work just as well. For a potion that doesn’t need heating, |prefer a jug because it’s easy to pour into bottles afterwards. Harrison has been so quiet that | almost forgot he was here, sowhen he speaks | jump and spill a little. | wipe it up with a paper towel and repress a sigh.
“Who is the other Incubus you know?” He demands. Huh? Did he miss my sarcasm? Sure I’ve seen other Incubi around but I’venever even talked to one other than him. Actually, from what | understand most Incubi aren't big on talking at all. At least not theones who hang out in bars. Taking my silence as a refusal, he pushes on.
“Seriously, who? Was it Raven? Or Zach? If it was Robert | should warn you that he doesn’t see any problem with lying towomen if it gets him what he wants. | don’t know if there are any other Incubi in town right now, | mean it’s not like | know themall anyway. Is it someone | know?” He rants on and | keep my face blank and my eyes focussed on the ingredients I’m mixing. |have to use my grimoire to get the right measurements. This isn’t a spell I've made before.
“Uh, no. | don’t know any of those guys.” | answer absently. He narrows his eyes at me, suspiciously.
“You're lying to me, aren’t you. | don’t think you actually are friends with another Incubus. It don’t know another Incubus thatwould be willing to h
just friends with a woman if I’m completely honest.” He grumbles. | roll my eyes.
“You're making a lot of assumptions about my relationship. Who even said that we are just friends? I’m not a nun you know.” |point out. Okay, so maybe I’m pushing it a little. But | can’t believe he’s actually buying it. I’m also a little offended that he is justassuming that no other Incubus would b
interested in me. I’m not perfect, but I’ve never considered myself unattractive. | get hit on while working the bar all the time. Is itreally so unbelievable that
omeone elsemight want me?
For a moment | think | might have actually succeeded at pissing Harrison off. His expressions darkens and he seems supertense. Then as soon as it canie, the tension drains from him and the expression changes to a lazy smile. Before | can so muchas blink, he reaches out and snatches my jug of half completed potion base.
