"Bite your tongue, Nigel." Caroline snapped, before rounding on Piper, a fire in her eyes, "And you will lower your weapon. Xavier is a member of Harpy's Wing, and if either of you plan on hurting him, you'll have to kill me too before I do the same to you. Now if you're through trying to [i]murder[/i] a fellow guild member, why don't you go elsewhere and try to figure out how to break this illusion and leave him to those of us with cooler heads?" Turning her back on them and effectively putting an end to the conversation, Caroline took a step closer to Xavier and crouched down.

"Xavier, dear, do you recognize me? I promise I'm not going to hurt you, and you're not going to hurt any of us, so there's no reason to be afraid." As she spoke, the town flickered, replaced once more by the hellish nightscape, but she grimaced and forced it out of her mind, focusing on Xavier. "Here, stand up dear. This is power, nothing more. How you use it determines if it's good or bad, and I know you would never hurt any of us."
