[ Baby’s breath and roses. A gift from Misty. She’d mentioned something about their protective capabilities and Mallory had needed all the help she could get for her solo mission. For some reason, she believes looking at him might give him more power. But, she knew that was foolish. So, stops moving -- trying to watch him and stand her ground. She wasn’t prey and she wasn’t going to be hunted or toyed with like some appetizer. ]
