Welcome to Gaia! ::

Nasir was on edge after the meeting, though not because it went poorly. If anything, he had learned a lot and a lot of it he may not have ever wanted to know. Yet the edginess was because of what the influx of emotions from others.

Still not properly processed, though the apathy he had gotten a rush of helped him some. When he got home he had gone to make some hot chocolate, warm and soothing, before he came into the living room to sit.

Which did mean he was setting his mug down, one there for Alexis too, before he nudged them a little to let him into the blanket nest.

There was a reason why Alexis's hot chocolate was not actually hot but instead that perfect warm that was just pleasant to have (mostly because Nasir had stirred in cold things to make it tastier).

"It was- It went." Nasir said quietly, taking the blanket and fidgeting with the edges. He still was trying to process the nervous energy. "Learned some more things but ... we're going to destroy the old Charter and make a new one. That's the main thing."

"No, no fights." Nasir replied. "Ah, Preacher was running around the entire time as a mink? I think she agitated Silk a lot." He was thinking about everything. "I saw Lara Lupin? She was a woman that last her familiar at Blackfriars in the old world but now her familiar and her are alright again ..."

He was fidgeting, more so than usual.

"They also talked about, um, a purge? That that is the reason why there were not many Nobles and little to no seers - er, that's what they called wargs - and moonwalkers."

"No, there wasn't." Nasir looked just as bothered by it but then it flickered away. Tucked back with all the other worries that he was overwhelmed with by the remaining bit of apathy he had plucked from Lily.

"It happened last cycle and put an end to almost every single Noble, except for the ones we saw at the ball last year, as well as all the wargs and the moonwalkers. Someone wanted them dead and it left us guideless."

"They do but maybe- I don't know, they were killing anyone with magic to make a point?" Nasir was not as upset about that as he should have been. Killing people was bad, killing people bothered him, but right now it was simply talking.

"Either way, it left us with the Court we had at the ball." Only those Nobles until new ones joined their ranks. "Probably hard for us to figure out what was going on if ... that's all we had."

Nasir did not like the idea of murder, of someone killing so many just to keep things going. The odds were, if he was part of this, that he had been killed too. "Not just Nobles left, but the previous Principals and the Deer Triplets and-"

Something broke then in him, Nasir slumping and rubbing at his face. "It's horrible and messed up. Why would anyone want these cycles to keep going if all it ever is is death?"

It was not a comfort at all. Nasir was just slumped and sighed but he knew what they meant and what they were talking about. It wasn't quite the same thing he had meant but-

"If you don't reset with the rest of us you can do whatever you want, control it however you want, which is likely whomever is behind the purge." A breath escaped. "Other than always keeping your power, if you don't reset, I don't see why they'd want the cage besides having your own little kingdom." Nasir's chest was tight but he sighed and leaned towards Alexis a little.

It was a small, small comfort for him at the moment. Not because they couldn't help but because the thoughts were so overwhelmingly dark. "We also ... learned a thing about the Nobles," he said softly.
