Gwenneth immediately hopped out of Jeff's lap and started on her portion of the food with gusto. Jeff watched her in anxiety for a moment, but didn't touch his share. Ignoring Gabriel's outstretched hand, the boy folded his arms across his chest and met the Cheysuli's yellow eyes coldly.
"Ironic," he said evenly, "that a demon should be named after an angel. I hardly think you merit the name.
"I have to agree with you in that you have treated me terribly. I can't begin to imagine why you have chosen to torment me in this manner, nor how you managed to contort the will of someone like Alexis to follow your own.
"As for my name, I don't see why you would care. Do what you will with me, but I will not be mocked. I am a human-- I have a family and a home, a school and a city, and nothing you do can take that away from me. I am Jeffrey Gage Ryan, son of Wilhelm Ryan, and though you shatter my body and poison my mind you can never taint my spirit. So go ahead, demon: do your worst."
He glanced at Gwennie as she sat washing herself contentedly, and his eyes were pained. "But if there is a single ounce of pity or mercy in that stone you call a heart, I would entreat it to leave my little cat out of whatever horrendous plan you have in mind for me. Surely you cannot benefit from her torment-- let her go free."
Gwenneth stopped washing and looked sadly from her boy to the warrior. ::I warned you that he would be thus,:: she whispered to Gabriel.
