Stone Cold

[Claude Saint-Clair]

Claude laughed almost as soon as he heard Nox's name. He was able to keep it in check with a smile as he waited for her to finish. "So the performer you mentioned IS Nox," he chuckled. "Why am I not surprised?" Claude already knew of Kallisti and its, for lack of a better word, coven. There wasn't much the women there could teach him, but he had been learning from Nox. It had been beneficial and enlightening. "We've met. He's actually taught me how to use it and I meet with him frequently to practice and learn."

Claude doubted Ilesha was worried about him attacking her. After all, she had come willingly into his apartment knowing what he was, but knowing that he was connected with Nox could be a relief. Also she was probably on that list of people he watched and protected. Messing with her would definitely earn Nox's ire - not that Claude had any plans to do so.

He showed a little surprise that powers could be combined though. "No - I didn't know that. I confess I'm not very good at it yet and that hasn't come up in my lessons. I know your power is somehow different than mine. Ours are compatible or would I only be able to combine my powers with another man?" It was getting easier to use the power now though. Like all things it got easier with practice.
