Just Why?

[Claude Saint-Clair]

Claude nodded in understanding. Most things should be the same - some things are not. It would be good to know, especially if he practiced with Nora. He had no idea if Nora wanted whatever resources Nox might have to help her, but that was something he could let her know. He'd make sure to get his contact before he left.

Casey seemed to operate in instinct. There could be good to that, or it could be catastrophic. But Nox was right in a way - don't discount that feeling. There was a reason why people had instincts, and if it served you well in the past, it would likely do the same in the future. His weaving hadn't been instinctual in that way. It hadn't been productive, just a release of emotion. The power had more controlled itself then than he had, but that was sometimes the nature of things.

"I think for me, that's good enough for now. I can tell I have some stamina building to do with this as well. Is there anything else you can think of for a beginner to know before I head out and let you get on your day," he smiled warmly. It had been more pleasant that he expected, and most of the unpleasantness had been from him. "And I'm grateful - truly. As long as you're okay with me coming her on a fairly regular basis and continuing to learn, I plan on doing so. At the very least until I can figure more out on my own. I hope you understand I'm not a threat to you and yours." Nox knew what he was and he had no desire to hurt anyone that was truly innocent. In truth he generally stuck to actual monsters.
