Aamu
And Aamu, well, he's not exactly great either: he still feels guilty for the genocide of the prototypes, he spent a week worshiping light, and now he's nearly blind. The world is dark around him, an uncomfortable throwback to night-time as a mortal, and if you look at him for long enough, it's quite obvious. He stumbles more than usual, blinks owlishly and peers around, watches in weird angles and just seems bothered in general.
Walking out to King's End takes almost all of his concentration to not end up flat on his face, so he barely notices the silence.
How either of them is going to get any swordplay done in their current states is a mystery.
Then they're at the Last Step and it sends a chill down Aamu's spine. The mythical stairs end in hazy darkness and tentatively, he raises his gaze to Nate's. It's strange to see him with just one eye in his handsome face, and surely—surely it's a bit strange to gaze into Aamu's eyes as well, moon-covered as they are, his pupils a hazy silver.
"Of course," he says softly, stupidly glad to be standing still. Leans a little closer, squinting in an attempt to actually read Nate's face. Makes a decision. "Want to fight first and talk later, or talk first and fight later?"

Through the streets and the houses of gods you roam
and on their altars you lay your heart of stone
and on their altars you lay your heart of stone
