the evidence is on my body
but I never complain
but I never complain
Inclining his horned head in agreement, Astaroth’s grin is still just as bright as the gears within his mind start working – focusing on what kind of information he may be able to recover in the Atheneum for abilities similar to Niki’s own. But, given that he isn’t there, he simply makes the markers of what to look for and files it away for later, content to wander alongside the young man toward the teahouse, matching the pace of the abandoned easily, uncaring how long it may take to get there.
Luckily for them both, though, it doesn’t take very long, and he peers at the door before he hears Niki’s comment, letting the low rumble of amusement slip past his throat as he nods. “It is not the first time.” He informs the younger man, his grin widening a touch before he’s bending quite a bit in order to duck under the awning and eaves, holding the door open for the younger man before he slips in after, content to warm up in the heat of a warm building and hot tea to soothe his old bones.

i wear it as a lesson, a curse, and a blessing
