Nikolai listened with rapt attention. His eyes watched hers, analyzing their flickerings and glances as they paired with what she was saying. Detecting a lie for those untrained in subversion was easy. Strangely, much of Aria's behavior was consistent with his entire encounter with her. She was telling the truth insofar as much as Nikolai could discern, and that truth was peculiar.
He'd never heard of a Sentient, but then again he only vaguely remembered furia. Their kind had something to do with emotion, anger and tracking, but a sentient was entirely foreign. The description of her power sent a chill down his spine, and there was little in the world that rendered such an emotion from Nik.
"I am protected from you because I am a god,"
he said, tone flat. He rarely said the words out loud, the proclamation of being a god despite the frequency of such thoughts. The smoothness with which he said it betrayed his true belief in the matter.
He considered her a moment longer, cool gaze narrowed to sickles of blue. It was a difficult guess to know he held powers throughout the duration of their time together. "If I were not a god, how would you manipulate my emotion as you claim to be able to do?"
