Quote #4
"Not quite yet," Estella said, producing a flask from within the folds of her shawl and holding it out to Anamique. "Child, quickly, drink this," she said.
Vasudev gasped. "No! You can't!" he sputtered. (2.11.39-40)
Hanging out around Vasudev for so many years has taught Estella a thing or two about keeping a card up her sleeve. She manages to save all of Anamique's victims by sacrificing her own life, much to Vasudev's dismay.
Quote #5
Then he saw the braids hanging from the chandelier and knew that they'd fled. He felt an instant flood of fury at Mab's trickery, and a twinge of panic to think of them getting away, but those feelings were quickly drowned out by the visceral thrill that came over him—despite everything he wanted to be, and all he tried to un-be—at the thought of a hunt. (3.2.21)
The Druj are immortal demons and trained hunters, but Mab still has some experience with evading them. Even though she's scared to death, Mab manages to use her trickery and wiles to escape. Well, at least for a while…
Quote #6
They might fright a young girl or boy by following them home, but usually in animal cithra they don't do much more than that.
When they come for mischief, they come as humans. (3.3.6-7)
The problem with living forever is that life gets boring. Because the Druj run out of things to do, they set their sights on humans… and how they can mess with those poor naïve souls.
