John's nose twitch as he rock the container gentle, eye the paper in the liquid, noticing the first of the image on it showing through. After a moment, he very slowly pull the paper with the image from the liquid. The dark room wasn't truly dark, a red tint from the crystal that sat in the fixture at the door. It was one of the few lights that he had learn, from trail and error, would not to the treated paper black. He turn away from the set of trays, hanging the newly reveal image, Warren and Judge facing each other across the sand in front of the stone. He wish that Howl could have been there for the match as well.
He sigh, hanging the picture with the others that were drying. So much these last couple of weeks, from Mimi sickness and pulling double duty at the clinic, to Jancis suggestion with meditation, Howl finally voicing the fear he felt; villian from Howl's and Sei past that may have been awaken by his ability, and the reveal that Judge was Au Ra.
"I can't let Howl face 'him' alone."
'He will not,' Kit's 'voice' sounded in his head. 'We face him together.'
"I'm not sure I'm strong enough." He pick up the crystal and slip out the door into another smaller dark room. He sat the crystal in a holder, locking the first door, and then exiting out the second. "It had been far to close, when I first face him."
'Will not face him alone,' she said, resting on John's bed.
"Howl and Sei are fine. They both now know that what he told them was lies." He ran his hand through Kit's 'fur'. "I need to know how this work," he said, looking down at his hand. "I would have spoken with Titor the night before but with the party and..." He trail off, glancing out the window. "Hope they understand why I didn't stay long at the party."
'One less person to keep track of, say Hello too, play nice too.' Kit hop off the bed, heading for the door. 'Come,' she said. 'Leave stuffy room, fresh air. Speak with Jancis, speak with Titor, speak with Howl. No hiding.'
John shook his head. "You're planning something, Kit." She just look at him, innocent the only emotion playing through her aether. And like any good partner, he follow her out the door.
