[ Maybe they'll be granted a period of time where they're both actually in decent health. She should have told him during those two weeks, but she was still trying to accept it for herself and -- she thought she'd have more time.
She knows he only came because she asked. Truthfully, she has mixed feelings about everything, that he spoke to Dean and Nadine but not her, but none of that matters right now. She knows she shouldn't have asked him to come, but after all of that silence, she couldn't wait for however long it would take to rescue them. ]
A shadow? Of what? [ Her brow furrows when she looks at him. She knows the others saw the same places between themselves, that only she and Rhy had seen anywhere different. ] I asked the Singularity to find me Nikodaemus. The old god they used to spell the island. It's the god of reflections and mirrors, I think they said. There were some folks in Thorne who worked that part out with the mages, then they spread the word to the rest of us.
[ A deep inhale. This sounds insane, she knows. ] See, first I asked it to find the lady they said is behind all this, Josselyn Creed, from Solvunn. But the Singularity didn't really... understand. I don't think it can see the regular natives the way it sees other stuff. Us. So I asked it for the god. And I don't know exactly what I saw, what it means. But it found somethin' and showed me. It was like one of those places, I think. But it's not here, like a domain. Maybe it's where gods live, I don't fuckin' know. It was super weird. Like an abstract paintin' or somethin'.
