Elias perked when glares were flashed his way. Apparently he'd said something wrong? Screw them for being touchy. He'd barely spoken in an hour, and the one question he asked was dismissed for most of it. He went back to the river. He could see it now as clearly as if he were standing on the banks. Fresh snowfall had covered the frozen surface with a white blanket, but where that burst of power blew the ice free, they had seen a shadow darting beneath. If one of these Sentients had been there, who knows what might have happened.
Lucas triggered the next shitstorm because his question sent Nox off the deep end. The kid curled up on the floor, laughing like a lunatic. Then a flood of information rushed over their heads. Elias had no idea what the kid was talking about. For once, he looked to Lucas like the man might be some sort of anchor in this madness.
Words were thrown about the next couple minutes that Elias had never heard in his life. Atharim and godlings - apparently Elias was one of these 'reborn gods of past ages.' Actually, that would hold some sort of appeal if it weren't for the fact that Nox was so damned sure Elias was one of them. What kind of right did he have to make assumptions about Eli? Even if this one was kind of cool.
The others bickered among themselves, and Elias' scowl deepened until Aria admitted one very important clue. Nox's power hid his presence from the Sentients, yet that same power curled its hand around Elias' throat until it threatened to choke him. So to hide from a Sentient was to reveal oneself to the gods. Interesting information.
Aria explained that they could, in fact, sense the presence of an animal. She ate game for her evening meal? His look was fixed flat. "Did you tear them apart with your teeth when you caught one?"
He shoved from the kitchen and disappeared out the door. God she was weird.
He went to find Ashavari. One of her was worth ten of anyone he left behind.
He wasn't the sentimental knd of person, but when he caught up, he casually paused at her side. "You okay?"
