NERON
show me how defenceless you really are
"Give it time, the masses may surprise you." Neron shot her a crooked grin - pitchforks indeed. But there was more to speak of than the state of their people, and the Warden sat up a fraction to listen to her advice. Of all those in Caido, Rexanna was most definitely the person with the most knowledge about their respective situations. Raising his eyebrows at her first point - that his magic could not be taken by another Ascended - a fierce smile flickered across his face. "That is very good to know," he said softly.
"And you do not have to tell me as much. I am having to battle with that concept myself among my own cabinet - to some extent - so I understand our reputation well. Luckily, I don't plan on keeping such a black marker on us in Halo." Neron would never make the Citadel into a haven for Ascended; that would do a disservice to his people. But he thought he might at least balance the books between the Old Gods and the Voice.
The appearance of the fire had him leaning back subconsciously in his seat, even though the flames were a safe distance away, and he nodded solemnly. "It is quite remarkable, for you to wield it at all," he murmured, raising a hand to create a small globe of water in turn, sending it out in a ribbon to chase the fire.
