"Kind enough to ask you to kill others who were merely defending their home?" he asked softly, remembering the Fae at the Mathair, their mourning, their dead. It was an unfair question, perhaps. An unkind one. But it was frustrating to see his friends so blinded by the Voice's bribes and blandishments.
Ru'in's eyes had certainly been memorable. Black madness and blue sorrow. Still, Jigano's lips quirked into a wry smile at the mention of the man's father. "My mother did similar things. Oracles have an odd relationship with the sky, no matter the world." His lighter tone faded to a wince as Rex shrugged and he hoped she wasn't causing more damage to her ribs. They probably should have wrapped them but since the Ascended didn't breathe he hadn't thought it necessary. All the little gestures, though, would take their toll if she wasn't careful.
"It must still be outside, then. I didn't see it when we brought you in." Well. He had to go back out eventually. He could look for it then. In the pitch dark with no idea where it was. "I don't suppose you remember where you were at before..." He grimaced, patting her arm apologetically since she couldn't see it. "Well. Where you were right before you lost your sight?"
He hadn't meant to upset her, and he exhaled sharply at her anxiety. This was probably a terrible time to ask what had happened to Lucas's body as well, or if the Fae still had it. But there were other options. "Not always," he said quietly. "Or... well, I don't know whether they're truly upgrades, but they might still work as bargaining bait. Things like Sam's infinitely heavy cube or that flying board that almost killed you?"
