Ricky listened to Jacob, and he was quite open about it. Ricky had been right about Noel Durante having a relation to Nox. When Jacob mentioned Marta though, he felt a chill deeper than the winter around them. It was only his reference to Nox that calmed it down.
It wasn’t his own safety he was concerned about. It was Marta’s. Marta didn’t need some Atharim zealot going after her. Jacob seemed to understand though. She was one of Nox’s - and thus wasn’t in play. That was enough. It did seem that Jacob was in the dark about Nox’s lack of ability, and that certainly wasn’t information Ricky was apt to give.
”Good to know,” Ricky said, his voice unworried. They seemed to have an agreement and that’s what mattered. As long as you weren't after his friends/family, Ricky was okay with you. He wasn’t glad Marta hadn’t changed when he had still been working with Cross.
They got back to the cave. ”You wanna be the guillotine or you want to set up camp and scout. Might be a good idea to make sure we don’t have any other creepy crawlers around here.”
