- She'd slipped half a dozen
- coppery bracelets over each wrist, all of them slender, all of them hanging
- more heavily than they should have. Faint glints of golden energy played
- among them, and looked like little more than the glitter of light on metal

- Elaine looked a little strained, herself. If she'd really
- smoothed away that much of an injury, she had more skill than she'd told
- me she did. That kind of healing isn't a matter of trivial effort, either. She
- might be more fragile than she appeared. I opened the fire door on Abby's
- floor, and let Elaine take the lead. She went down the center of the hallway
- in total silence, her hands slightly outstretched, and I got the sense that she
- was somehow perfectly aware of everything around her—more so than
- human senses would account for. The bracelets on her wrists glittered more
- brightly. Superior awareness as a defense, then, instead of my own, more
- direct approach of meeting power with power and stopping things cold. Just
- her style.
