Cruz smiled. He didn't mind her taking care of business while she thought of it. He was glad she was. It meant she wasn't going to back away and just say yeah I'll do that. Kinda like he did most of the time.
"I'm glad that you didn't hurt anyone, or didn't have to go through the sickness. It's horrible." He remembered it vividly. It was Ivan who had helped him figure it all out, and then it was Nox who was set to guard him so he could live a relatively normal life. And then the Ascendancy revealed magic to the world. And the Atharim, and things got a little safer. Not much. But the heir to Jivana going missing would be a big deal. And Nox had him on his protective list for whatever deal he made with the Atharim. Man got around, Cruz was pretty sure he was on a one on one basis with the Ascendancy himself. Not exactly sure how that happened but he was.
"I know it sounds strange but you should go check out Kallisti during the off hours. The girls are really nice I'm told and they have a little coven of like minded women who learn from each other."
He squeezed her hand and gave her a bright smile. "I'm glad you are doing better. And seriously glad that douche is gone. I almost wish I had been apart of it." Though Cruz wasn't sure he could kill a man. He was actually almost 100% positive he couldn't.
