Noah's gaze remained fixed on Danta's map, and he couldn't help but feel a twinge of skepticism at the Maverick's motives. It was only because he didn't know the Maverick well or was it something else and because he had felt foolish in front of him before. He was willing to put aside any reservations he might have had about Danta's motivations for the sake of progress in their shared endeavor, however. So he sucked in a breath.
"Do you remember her name?" Noah hoped it was someone he knew from his time in Stormbreak. Reaching out to another friend for help seemed like something that he could do, even as shame and guilt bubbled beneath his skin.
As Danta commented on the book and suggested that Vi might have more information, Noah nodded with a forced appreciation. "Vi's insights are invaluable." The name of his deity on his lips felt like ice -- but not just cold. It felt like when he lost his balance on the Sea of Glass and smashed his face against the ice. Or when Ronin dropped him out of his nimbus and the pain that rushed through him was so great he transformed into the basilisk trapped within his amulet without thinking about it.
It just hurt.
