"A circle of power that he can't penetrate." Julia answered Alex's question, pointing a thumb toward the kitchen door to indicate it was outside "And I don't have time to go stand out in it" This was said to the Soulchaser.
 
"And no, you can't go after him.  It's almost time for the trial." she looked at the clock on the wall "Matter of fact you should take Jimmy and Alex there now."
 
She met and kept the Soulchaser's gaze, tone easy but meaning and gaze anything but "No one leaves the circle, you included.  Anything happen to them and I'll take it out of your hide."
 
She then went to the kitchen door and whistled loud, getting Jimmy's attention, who leaned over the rail to look down at her.
 
"It's time." she said before ducking back into the kitchen.
