Nox tentatively accepted his presence, but the Ascendancy was unworried about the reunion. He had no reason to believe sanity frayed, although the comment about darkness hinted at manifestations rising.
Nik maintained a light-hearted tone, amplified by the hopefulness of present days. The Custody was stronger than ever. Despite darkness rising, or at least, writhing beneath the city, he was confident the cause for concern was short-lived. He glanced at the nearby philosopher, “Ah, and what is darkness, Allan but an absence of light? Darkness is comfort and calm. Light is pain and heat. Or maybe it is the intersection of both where the danger lurks?” he could speak on such things for hours, and the remark hinted that they may take the conversation elsewhere while the doctor did her work.
Thinking of the doctor, she should be forewarned. “Take care, doctor not to wake something in him you’d rather let slumber,” he said with theatric warning. He wasn’t overly concerned, however, or Nox would not be there. It was the Ascendancy’s generosity that the ex-Atharim was the recipient of such a priceless gift. Then again, Nik owed him a debt.
