A lot happened in a few short moments.
A curtain of light appeared before him, and Elias stopped before passing through. Ashavari cut the silence with accusation. A cloud of peril loomed briefly, but the paltry menace faded soon after. Eli glanced over one shoulder, and although the majority of his face was veiled with the thickness of his hair, what expression could be seen was curious rather than sharp. Nox was more clever than Eli guessed. It was almost worth a modicum of respect, which was showed by the faintest nod of his head. Alright, so Nox wasn't dim, but he might still attract the attentions of the specter. There was nothing else to do but wait and see. Eli doubted it would be so easy to summon the ijiraq, and until it appeared, Eli had other things to ponder.
Like Ashavari and how Nox might 'go away'.
The group had moved to the platform. Many of the train stations in the famous Moscow system were warm and comfortable, but this one was drafty. Since Nox already knew Elias could see what was done, he studied the design of his heater unabashedly. He could duplicate it, he was sure, and in fact, his imagination was already spinning potential variations.
The overhead tracking system alerted the passengers of an approaching train, but before they boarded, Eli turned back to point-blank confront the other two, but it was to Ashavari he spoke. He had the sense she would answer plainly when the directness of his gaze leveled upon her delicate face.
"What does he mean, that he is going to disappear? And why do you know that he will?"
