Cole sucks in another harsh breath, digging his fingers into the cool moss beside the wall. There isn’t any hint of magic in the air, so wherever Bast is, he can’t be feeling much better, although Cole hopes, desperately, that he’s at least physically fine. He, on the other hand, is absolutely fucking drained. Literally. […]

Ari won’t stop touching Tate. They’d tried to pull her in, too, but she can’t – not when this is at least partially her fault. If she hadn’t distracted Ari- Kyah swallows and forces her attention back where it belongs. On the questions Reuben and Astrid and Max and her father are asking and the

Bast wakes up, feels him, and close. It means he’s found them, or at least the vicinity, and is trying to draw them out. He feels the rush of magic from the outer realms, too, which means there must be at least one portal standing open. And open wide. He looks at Cole, still sleeping.

Tate knows that Shae has found him. For real, now that he knows she’s not dead. Whatever let her do it has opened some sort of door, but it goes both ways. He can tell that she’s… waiting for something. Ari doesn’t like it at all. They’ve closed the door between them for security reasons,

Tate shrugs, everything about him easier since they got answers. Never mind that those answers were that the world was maybe about to end. “He does that sometimes, Ar.” “No, like he hasn’t answered in over a month. Wait no, let me amend that – he hasn’t just not answered anything in over two months.
The footsteps alone are not sufficient to make him stir. Not even that there are two steps, or that one of them sounds especially harried. “My Lord?” He exhales a silent sigh at the second disruption of the day. The first had been some lowly soldier who shouldn’t have been allowed in at all, claiming
The appointment passes in a blur. By the time they leave, Bast has already forgotten what they wanted done. He hopes he did the right thing. Assumes so, since they seemed pleased enough. But he doesn’t care. He’s tired and wants them gone. As soon as the door closes behind them, he shoves out of
