Ivan listened, a feeling of disappointment forming in his stomach. He supposed he shouldn't have expected more. It was his problem. Still, "My father....no, Nox. He was not weaker than me. I know he did it to protect us. I just..." He sighed. And how far would he go to protect them? Or Danya and Zara? He would kill, without hesitation, he knew. Which would probably make things worse. Just because he had power didn't mean he was everywhere. Fuck, he didn't even know who he could trust. Sure, a couple people. Alex. Nox. He tried to think of others but nothing came to mind. Drayson, maybe, though the man was MIA.
He felt things spiraling out of control. There seemed to be no way out. So for now...for now, he would keep his head down. Do what he was told. But he would still see what he could do. There had to be a way out.
He finished his coffee and stood. "You're right. Just have to suck it up, for now. And be careful. And train. Thanks for the advice."
He stuck out his hand and shook the other man's. They'd meet up later. If there was a way out, he'd find it. And in the meantime, training and growing in his power was something, at least. It wasn't just sitting there and waiting.
