There hadn't been much more to go over with Viktor Lih. He told the pale man to meet in back at Domovoi in the morning. They'd go over all the details then. Hopefully the lad would get a good nights sleep. He seemed very on edge.
Nox had gone to see Yun Kao. His part of that was done for the moment - until the next favor anyway. Dorian had made an early appointment with the captain. It went as well as could be expected. It had been a two fold inquiry, one on behalf of requesting Lih and Sarkozy. But it had been mostly to press the Atharim issue. Specifically working with his ex-Atharim informant who had been working the case almost exclusively until Dorian had transcripted him into his cause - protecting his family.
Dorian laid out everything first. How the boy had tracked monsters, how he killed them, how he'd found evidence of foul play. And his extensive maps of the tunnels. His technological advances in mapping as well as specialized software that made their lives all easier. The latter thankfully was all Sage and Aurora, so not even Atharim tech. That was great for Dorian.
It wasn't until the cap was nodding happily that he dropped the boys name. "Nox Durante." had come out of his mouth and the captains face soured. The name was news in Domovoi - confessed to murder and completely unscathed afterwards. No word what really happened. Dorian promised to keep the boy on a tight leash. And to never leave him alone with sensitive information. And a plethora of other restrictions. Not that Nox would actually be a hindrance, he'd never step food inside the precinct if he could help it. Dorian either, but at least permission was granted and Nox could work unfettered in the investigation.
Now Dorian only had to wait for Lih and/or Ivan to show up. Didn't matter which one was first. There was tasks for each of them. And some of them combined. Vaia Plus was involved in monsters and monsters were Domovoi business now and with a few ex-Atharim they might actually do some good in this on the books even.
