Rune turns to the boy and takes a closer look at him, intentionally sensing with his Willpower what he had not noticed before. There’s something strong here, behind those seemingly innocent, innocuous blue eyes. Honestly, the flavor of the power is completely different — something bright, like a pure white light, something he’s never seen before — but the vibe he’s reading off the kid strangely reminds him of Quinn, which honestly sets him at ease, whether or not it should. Is this kid a prophet too, he wonders?
Man. Quinn. Addam. Max and the kids. The attack on Sun House — they’re fine right? They have to be alright. It was only one woman, and Brand is there. Diana, his new seneschal. It’ll be okay. It’s going to be okay. Even not-Quinn says so.
Rune takes in a deep breath.
“Uh, actually,” he says, with something of a self-conscious twist of his lips, “if you don’t mind, that would be a big help. I wasn’t expecting — well. Any of this, to be honest, and it’s gonna take me hours to get a Healing spell stored up otherwise.” At least. It’s damned inconvenient that he’s probably going to be operating without a Sanctum for the next River knows how long.
