Will listened as Molly listed the Seven Laws of Magic, and though they all made sense (and reminded Will of Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics in an odd way), he could tell where her story was going as soon as she described laws three and four. His hand on hers tightened fractionally again, though he released it again as soon as he realized he was doing it. He didn't need to tell her how unfair he thought it was, her being prosecuted for something she did completely unknowingly, and then given a life long probation with the punishment of immediate execution if it was broken. Will's general feelings on crime and justice may have started to skew recently, but even outside of that the idea of upholding the death penalty for something done without intent struck him as severely unreasonable.
But there was no reason for Will to voice his opinion. One, he was sure he'd be preaching to the choir, but two, he was sure Molly could tell how he felt about it, if not via his expression than through the thread of understanding that seemed to always connect them.
"Is it difficult to control some of your powers?" he asked her gently, not because he wanted to prod, but because he was curious how much danger she might be in of accidentally breaking one of those seven laws.
