Honestly Nox didn't know if a man could heal. "Our powers are different. She had to surrender to hers, while I have to conquer and control mine. Trying to do the opposite is futile. We can't see each other's threads, like you and I can see each others. So she could never teach me how to heal."
Not that Nox really had the desire to learn, he couldn't heal himself with it - yet another limitation of the power he held.
"We managed to create our own version of fireballs and such, so in theory healing for a man is possible if he knows how. I do not. I've not met anyone with the ability to heal. Though I suspect it's very similar to the way Dane manipulates a body without leaving a mark on them."
Nox hadn't watched Dane close enough to pick up his trick, but it was different enough that he had noticed. He had had other things on his mind. "There is a very fine line between killing and healing with our power. What one can do you can always do the opposite. I have... I had a friend who can mimic a heart attack in a person. You could easily restart a heart in the same fashion. Equal and opposite - just like science."
"It is the very reason that the Atharim hunt us. The gods of old manipulated mankind and would have lead to the downfall of mankind if the Atharim had not eradicated them. We remained intact over the millennium to fight the creations of the gods that remained after their destructive reign - the monsters hidden from the world above by the Atharim. It is our job to keep humanity safe. However stupid some of the beliefs are - it is a noble cause."
They rounded the last corner of the tunnels and light streamed through the entrance. Nox blinked back from the light and stopped near the edge of the last shadow before the entrance. He looked to Dane and asked, "Do you want me to contact you when I have suitable prey? It won't be nearly as fun knowing where the quarry is but I don't think you enjoy the hunt just the fun in the end."
As a second thought Nox added, "Do you want me to tell Aria you are back in town, or shall I let her find out when she next checks the status of your whereabouts?"
Nox knew Aria would check on him - she always knew where Dane was, where his credit was last used, when he used his identification, she was tracking him - it wasn't for nefarious reasons but an obsession. And he'd brought her obsession home to play.
