"I don't know." He muttered. Caleb O'Cain, the deadly shot. Sky was familiar with him from wanted posters and acquaintances in common, whores mostly. Was the man he saw Alys dancing with hiding a pair of orange wings under that cape? If so, it gave Sky less to worry about.
"I don't need your promises, I'll kill him myself." Sky said through gritted teeth, standing from the bench and immediately finding a pillar to hold on to, his frustration at Ciaran's passiveness disguised as frustration at a weak body. Hopefully he'd keep falling for it and take matters into his own hands.

For Caleb it was the Nox, the constant, even when everything else was changing. It was aboard the Nox that he touched his first diamond, learned how to shoot, met her. Amongst all the bad things.
The silence was comfortable, and also a sign they weren't being chased yet. When Alys broke it Caleb spun around to get back to the balcony, where he spread his previously folded cape. He took her hand and sat on the floor, leaving enough room for her to lay by his side and then used his hat as a pillow and offered his arm to be Alys'.
"Keep talking."
