"I thought the Entities had far more to gain from this arrangement than we did?"

The thing is... Hickey's kind of making sense. Power does want to take back what's hers, she does resent being weakened by forces outside of her control. His whole sales pitch sounds extremely appealing... but at the same time, she knows all too well what it's like to attract the deadly attention of primal fears that are much, much stronger than she is, and can't help but think back to the Darkness Devil incident with a shudder. If one of the Entities is like that, then...

"What trick? What are you talking about? These are bold words, for a human."

She isn't scared of him, not yet. Power spent months being the terrifying creature in the woods herself, and frankly, even without most of her powers, she's pretty confident she could kick Hickey's scrawny human ass.
