As quickly as it had happened it was done. Cruz watched the weave vanished from the girl, and the Ascendancy left. Stopping the choas in wake. He was done and so should the rest of the government leave. Cruz rushed to Nox who looked like he was doing his best just to stand. Cruz looked down at the woman with a friendly smile and then to Jaxen Marveet. He'd met him, one of Nox's friends and Sage really liked him for some reason. The Consul let the shield on Nox. The relief washed over Nox and Cruz took the opportunity to grab his elbow.
He looked at his peer and smiled. "I think your father fled with the others, if you need a ride we'd be happy to take you wherever you need to go. Or to a hospital, you both look like you might need a few stitches." Cruz wasn't going to ask why. Or how. But he'd offer, his mother would be proud. Cruz tugged on Nox's elbow. "But either way we should all go before someone changes their mind." The Ascendancy could very well send an order to kill them as they left. But it was a risk Cruz was willing to make. He wasn't about to lose Nox like he'd lost his father. But maybe life would be simiplier if Nox wasn't there, Cruz thought to himself, but then it wouldn't be as interesting either.
