Nikolai
Not all truths
Belong to the light

Nikolai blinks, processing her words. A small shy smile appears and he nods slightly, "Thank you". Family, why was that still so hard to wrap his mind around? Because it still seemed too good to be true. But Wessex had seemed nothing but genuine thus far and slowly it was beginning to dawn on the younger Ascend that the Demi-god was someone that he could truly put his trust in.
Still he warily takes the knife, holding it in his hand in a familiar grip. Nikolai was far more familiar with knives then a bow, having used them in fist-fights and back-alley brawls in the past. The second Wessex mentions shifting forms, the younger Ascended takes a step back warily. The panther form that the Wessex takes is equally terrifying and majestic and Nikolai can't help but gulp.
Forcing his muscles to relax, Nikolai steps into a fighting stance, keeping his eyes on Wessex. "Alright." After a second to brace himself, the younger Ascended surges forward. Attempting to keep an eye on the cat's flaws and fangs, he goes to slash her flank with the knife as he scoots past.
