Cain raised an eyebrow when Nox said that he clearly wasn't impressed enough. It was definitely a cool monument, worthy of a grand city like Moscow, but the redhead had seen a lot of interesting things since leaving Tees Valley. Nevertheless, he took the man's wallet. It took him a moment of blinking incomprehension to realize what he was seeing. Obviously it was a picture of the square without the monument, but Cain wasn't an idiot. Between Nox's awe at the thing and the comments he'd made about Ascendancy's power, Cain could tell that the structure hadn't been there prior to the massive surge of magic that they'd felt.
The magician craned his head back, gaping at the monument. It was beyond impressive, and Cain could hardly imagine one man having the power to erect it in a single display of might. Suddenly, the redhead realized that his friend had abandoned him, and he started in surprise and hurried after Nox. The brunet seemed to be the only person willing to actually approach the thing, but Cain was no coward. He pushed through the crowd and stood next to the other magician, following the man's lead and placing his hand on the thing. He watched as Nox sent threads of Earth into the structure. Cain could feel the buzz of magic under his hand, but he couldn't muster up the fear required to repeat Nox's spell. He was too shaken by the feeling of awe. Whatever he was finding though, it must be impressive granted the expression on his friend's face.
"Wow,"
he breathed, nudging Nox with his shoulder. "There's cameras all over the place still, mate. We should step back or head out before someone starts wondering what you're doing."
