"Owe!"
Jaxen yelped when the stiletto stabbed his knee cap. Oriena's eyes flashed black marbles in the dim club interior. Jaxen grinned defiantly in response, eyes honed only upon her as though Manix wasn't even there. Or like he was some creepy voyeur.
Her toast yanked the devilish grin from his face. Transforming his expression into something more pensive, serious even. A rare sight for Jaxen.
He raised his glass and joined the toast. Tarin and Sora called their kind 'Ancients'. Oriena called them Ascendants. The Atharim called them gods.
None of those names seemed right. despite how much Jaxen enjoyed thinking of himself as a god.
Manix, on the other hand didn't seem like the type to be aware of current events. Did he know about the announcement by the Ascendancy?
"Did you hear the government come clean?"
He asked of Manix. "Apparently, magic is real. You and I have it. So does about a thousand other people. Probably several in this room."
His gaze swiveled around them, only to land on Oriena. But it was her secret to tell, despite the temptation to betray it for her, Jaxen kept quiet about it.
