What Wouldn't I Give

[Raffe]

Raffe caught the flash of a badge as a man placed a hand on his shoulder. He knew bits of Nox’s past prior to Kallisti, but hadn’t pressed too hard on the details of how he’d found himself homeless in the first place. Something uncomfortable niggled, but only for a moment. Not that Raffe wasn’t law-abiding, but most of the kids in the orphanage had a difficult relationship with the local cops growing up, and the weight of authority still made him uneasy. Despite that Raffe offered an affable enough smile as he tucked the plant back under his arm, open in his curiosity as he followed. “Doubt you’d come alone if he had,” he pointed out mildly. Unless this man was one of the channelers Nox had previously been teaching, which was a possibility. “I’m Raffe.”
