“Duncan's gotten himself in a rut. I know he's got the skill to beat Kell, but he's been second-guessing himself since Ahriman.” They reached the car, a rental by the looks of it, and Methos shrugged into a blessedly warm sweater bearing unfortunate pom-poms and reindeer. “If he thinks he's taken my head, my quickening, that might put him back on track.”
They got in the car and slammed the doors. Methos turned in his seat to face Connor. “Alright, but if we do this, we do it my way. Duncan's killed a… lot of friends that past decade or so, murdering his mentor might hurt more than help.”
The smirk slid off Connor's face as he turned the key in the ignition. The car rumbled to life with a series of coughs, and the icy blue glare the highlander shot him reminded Methos to reel in his quickening aura before he blew the engine. After almost two decades of habitually expanding his buzz range to mimic a mortal wizard's field it was going to take him a while to stop.
They trundled down a beaten dirt road and Connor sighed. “I know, but right now Kell is just playing with him. If he doesn't get his head back in the game soon... he's going to lose it.”
