Not at all. Well if there’s one thing to be said about Caido, it’s consistency, isn’t it? A sardonic huff of laughter leaves Nate as he shakes his head, settling in to watch Aurelia. Why rush what’s obviously going to be bad news?
What actually comes seems to surprise Nate as much as it exhausts him, the ascended shifting uncomfortably under the arbiters gaze. He reaches up to take the smoke from between his lips and mash it into the ashtray. “I don’t have a fucking idea what she’s thinking anymore. I don’t...” He licks his lips and glances towards one of the windows, trying to breathe through the sudden tightness in his chest. “Don’t think I knew her very well after all.”
“You're right though.” Nates eyes are hard when they return to Aurelia’s face, his mouth set in an unhappy line. “This isn’t the end of it, even with Deimos banned and demoted, even with her banned and out of jail.” Dread hangs over all of them like a stiletto blade, the string holding it up growing finer and finer by the day. And with the extra wrench of Remi involved, well...
Nate forces a sigh out between his teeth and scrubs at his face, flicking his hair back when he speaks next. “What did the spirit say to you?”
