Moral support," she added quickly, feeling a cover story was needed.
Lights had to admire Ebony's dare. She wondered briefly whether she should go up and help him, but then decided that it was best to keep up her cover as a random woman watching the protest rather than an MLE'er. So she shot Ebony a good luck smile and continued to watch proceedings out of the corner of her eye.
"I'll just keep an eye out then," Ethan said. He backed up a bit, but amended himself to keeping close to Lights. His wand was still ready, hiding just up his right sleeve if he needed it. He felt a little better now: at least Lights hadn't lied about hiding something...
