Nathan listened to Ros explanation but it was a bit confusing. The carrot analogy was clearly not the best and Nathan was too much into fast food to care about quality. "So you want fresh meat instead, but not when you actually feel like eating, so you have to freeze it and then it tastes bad?", he tried to summarize what he just heard. "I mean if I only got to eat mushy cooked carrots, I'd probably eat less than I do anyway, but on the other hand, you know I rarely have an appetite, but I still…

"What is it then?", Nathan asked raising a brow but then quickly shook his head. "It's fine, I'm not entitled to those answers anymore." Not that he was given them when they were a couple. Right now however it was hardly his business at all. Ros could deal with his stuff on his own or talk to an actual friend. Nathan only came here because he wanted something and Ros gave more than he ever should have had to. "The soup is good, maybe a bit more salt." He rarely complained about Ros cooking who c…

"You don't have to wait for me to sleep, I won't disrupt you either. I can move to the bedroom if you want more distance." It wasn't dangerous, Nathan just knew Ros didn't want to be seen like this, even though they both knew what was happening and what he was eating. Surely it was someone who died of natural causes, or was dead anyway before Ros acquired their body. Nathan didn't judge, but that wasn't the point. "You don't have to be ashamed for what you need to survive and besides, you haven'…

"That's nice.", Nathan replied about Ros coworker and kept eating the soup he got. It didn't warm him up as much as he hoped it would. He was shivering and he felt like he would even if he sat himself into some fire. "Yeah I know...", Nathan mumbled and with the soup quickly gone leaned back again. He pulled the blanket around himself and made himself a little cocoon that would hopefully keep him warm. He pulled it all the over over his nose, just his eyes peeking out. He glanced at the artifact…

At least until the soup was done he should stay awake. He wasn't sure how easy it would be to wake him once he did and he rather warmed up beforehand. The tea Ros put on the table was a nice distraction, he nipped on it to keep himself awake and the warmth was nice, but almost too much on his cold skin. Nathan left the meat in the kitchen and only cleaned the blood off the floor. Ros should just eat if he was hungry, but he probably wouldn't. "If these things work like I think they do neither my…

"No, I don't, I rather have them know as little about both our involvement as possible. I appreciate you giving me those artifacts for now... and you are right about my failure of safekeeping too. I will sever the connection of my door as soon as I can... which might take a while." Right now he couldn't cast at all, not even a little bit. He hoped he would regenerate, but of course they didn't know how the artifact would effect him and Abaddon admitted to never having tried it on a mage either. …

Nathan turned and sat up a bit again when Ros came back only to get a cold hand pressed to his forehead once more. "I don't know if anyone is any safer like this... he can probably pull strings from inside a prison. What did they even get him for...? Do they know you and I were there?", Nathan wanted to know, forcing his brain to make sense of the world around him and the information he got. He changed position again, his hip and lower back hurt, probably from crashing into those chairs. There w…

Nathan tried to see clearly and blinked a few times, looking at Ros and his demeanor. Was he back to normal again? Well, not normal normal, but easier to talk to maybe. "You look... better...", he pointed out but probably couldn't say the same for himself. He sat up a bit, as best as he could. He wondered if he could use magic again, but not even attempting it, just raising his hand and looking at it, it shook quite obviously. Ros left for a moment or two and came back with some water and a myst…

Nathan was out cold, maybe not even sleeping, more like passed out with his brain and body having shut down to regenerate. The light in the bathroom was lit, it was bright the whole night, but it didn't bother him at all. He only slightly awoke when he felt his body move, not of his own volition. He tried to open his eyes, but his body refused even that. Sleep called him, clawed at him and ripped him from reality. Even in his now dream he was tired and unable to open his eyes, even though he so …

Nathan couldn't deal with Ros like this right now. It had been fine when they were a couple and Ros tugged on him, wrestled with him playfully and did things he normally never would have, but right now it was inappropriate and at the same time he was just like he always was, diminishing Nathans protest as if he had said something outlandish and was crazy for being so advert to 'just' a little closeness he never invited him to. Time and time again he had to tell himself that what Ros spouted wasn…

Ros eventually passed him, then came back and grabbed Nathan from behind. He stopped cleaning for the moment and bit his lower lip. There was not point trying to wrest free, he just wanted to be done with this that was all and then sleep, without a maniac with him that made him want to leave rather than stay. "You can't just do this...", he told Ros, "I'm not your boyfriend anymore. I shouldn't need to explain this to you of all people..." The stuck up over correct Ros who suddenly was not at al…

Ros was so different like this, not at all stuck up or bothered by appearances. He didn't care about logic or anything of that sort and he didn't worry about the future. As endearing as that was, it wasn't what Nathan needed come tomorrow or the days after and he felt bad for always claiming Ros to be denying himself but then relying on the persona he crafted for himself. His pull didn't do anything and Ros told him as much. "You're supposed to get up anyway.", he told him calmly, only to be yan…

Nathan didn't want to take too much time, so he got up eventually, grabbed a towel from one of the cupboards and quickly dried himself. He wasn't completely, especially his hair still carried water that dripped on the floor. He didn't want to spend more time than necessary though, so he wrapped the towel around his waste, then unlocked the door and went out. He looked at the floor, which was properly covered in blood stains by now, from the bathroom to the kitchen, then back into the hall were t…

It's been a very long time since Nathan saw Ros in this form that seemed to be easier to maintain for him than any other. No hiding his scars or much of his nature. He knew much less of their society than Nathan but quickly clung to the notion of wanting to be normal. Sure, some might have thought him frightening with the black claws and the mouth that looked like he could stuff a human in it whole, without dismembering it first, but Nathan never judged him for it. In a way he maybe preferred Ro…

If Nathan had any magic left maybe he could have peeked into Ros' thoughts to get answers to his questions. Now he only got some chirping and the fact that Ros sat there after in the hot water for a bit. Omce he climbed out Nathan looked at him, about to offer to search for some meat in this place but just like that, Ros vanished. Nathans heart sank to his stomach while his eyes darted around the room and them a shadowy claw reached out of the shadows. Nathan jumped back a bit, staring at the da…

Nathan was worried beyond anything he ever felt. He had had his adventures and Ros had had to save him from stupid situations before, but this was different. What was he thinking running into the lions den all on his own like this, knowing something that disabled all his seals sat right in there as well. He'd been petty if he was honest, he wanted to show Ros he didn't need him more than he wanted to solve this current problem. Nathan felt at fault for Ros' condition no matter if he refused to e…

Two of them? What if there were more? This wasn't good, this thing seemed way too powerful, but maybe Nathan was biased because it hit him especially hard. There was no time to think about it now though, Ros was hurt badly and Nathan felt like he could sleep for a week once he lay down. "Can you... Maybe close that wound with some ice? For now?", he wondered, worried about his friend. He seemed more bothered by his hunger, bit losing blood couldn't be helpful. Nathan went on ahead, holding on to…

Ros grabbed Nathans wrist and he looked up to him, then down again at the two artifacts, then up again. He was confused, Ros just gave them to him? Maybe he agreed that the magistrate should'nt get this, at least not now, but... "Two of them...?", he wondered aloud, but this could wait. He put them in his coats pocket and nodded at Ros. Right now they didn't emit whatever it was they did, so he was fine holding onto them for now. Still he felt drained and even though the air didn't feel as heavy…

Nathan felt his body stiffen as the burning sensation crawled trough his body. There was even less he could do now than before he'd been poisoned on top of everything. It would take a while and yet his toes and fingertips felt weak already. He didn't have much hope in that moment, but he looked up curiously when one of the guards was beckoned out. When Abaddon came back in and Nathan weakly lifted his head, he already knew that something was amiss. He looked very disheveled and not only that, he…

Abaddon clearly didn't want to divulge any information, not about any artifact in his posession, nor Nathan who'd be able to get him loads more once he cooperated. Sure his plan hadn't been thought out completely, mage without power couldn't open that damn door for him and Shiva was gone, so she couldn't do it either. In essence the threat of traps was always present too, because for that doorway to appear they had to stop using the artifact for at least a short period of time. At first Abaddon …
