Nikolai
Not all truths
Belong to the light

After his brief interaction with Ronin, Nikolai quickly made his way to the Hanged Man. It wasn't the best place to read but it was the best place to sit and relax for a while. That and its darkness was beneficial for hiding his fangs as glints of them could be passed off as a trick of the light if he was careful enough.
Finding a cozy spot at the end of the bar, Nikolai ordered himself a beer to blend in. He wasn't really a heavy drinker regardless of being an Ascended. But not ordering something would draw suspicion. Takin ga sip of his drink, Nikolai opened his book eagerly and settled in.
As he dove into the complex theories of self, souls, and memory presented by the philosopher, Nikolai scribbled notes in the margin. Usually commentary, comparisons to other works, and sometimes just little tidbits to remind himself of what he wanted to look deeper into later.
The Ascended still wasn't sure what had initially drawn him to this particular series of works, but the parallels between it and his Ascended status intrigued him. He wished he could ask the author what they thought of his race.
