“I… wait you have… Ezra?” He looked –stunned-.
“Like, B-burning man, Ezra?” He said a little anxiously. His experiences with the man being, mixed, and not wholly separated from Jerimiah’s experience, and the oath to distance himself from Sunny, the consequences that the complicated dealings had caused. It really wasn’t on Ezra’s shoulders, but it was still a strange feeling.
There were so many things that they needed to re-evaluate.
“I mean, that’s good, right? Is he, are you? I only know a little about him, other than ‘he’s on fire’ and he is a guess a noble?”

“I… “ he hesitated. “I was going to try and make my way to the Library. I told Sonny that I’d help them find their Dad. I know we all have mixed feelings about them, and I’m still not sure I trust what Renard might have added to the sigil but…”
He rubbed his arm anxiously. “So, I mean, I should give him a chance, I think my thoughts on almost everyone have changed the more I lean. I won’t say all my opinions have gotten better but it would be unfair of me to place anything at his feet for… why I have mixed feelings about this.”
“So if you think well of him it wouldn’t be fair if I didn’t give him a chance.” He nodded and then shrugged and shifted some of the bangles he was wearing to show off the mark on his wrist, then turned his hand over to stare at his palm where the rock had sunk in.
“And, I admit there are a few other things I’d love to find answers about. Like…this mark and, well the stone that sank into my hand before everything went to hell. Especially because of the stone in the rift, it’s probably nothing of the kind but, yeah I mean, I’d rather not find out that I’m a hazard to everything I love more than I already have been.”

Leila gave Zac a concerned look as they walked. "We need to be careful around Renard," she said. "He doesn't see us as the people he knew, especially those of us who were involved with the new sigil. I don't think we can change that, either..." Which made her sad, to be honest. He'd been the officiator for her wedding with Eve, once. Now they were enemies.
The library door wasn't budging, even when Leila threw her whole weight at it (which was a lot).
"Okay, so that's a bust... and Friend's telling me I was a chump for trying." Those weren't Friend's exact words. Leila put her hands on her hips, thinking. "I haven't been to the forest in a really long time," she said. "Want to go check on Pax? Or... see if they're there. It doesn't have much to do with your stuff, but I've been a little worried."

Missing Heliodora? "Probably," Leila answered. "But... I dunno. It really scared me, what happened to Eve, so I've been worrying a little about everyone, I guess." She shrugged. "In between the Spinel Lady and Renard, there's a lot that could happen. They're both ruthless..."
Her hair caught on a bit of shrubbery that was more intelligent than previously appeared, and she stopped talking for a second to break free -- losing more than a couple of strands in the process, which made her frown some. It deepened when she resumed to talk about Renard.
"Not in the same way. But that part about letting nothing get in their way? That's what we've become, as far as I can tell... potential obstacles. Maybe Eve misread him, but she saw something in him that terrified her, even thought he said he doesn't plan on hurting anyone. I hope we're wrong."
That wasn't a concrete reason to see Pax so much as it was a tangent.

“I…er, wait, what happened to Eve??” He said with growing alarm. He reached to help detangle her hair but it seemed she had it well in hand, save for that it was clearly upsetting to see strands left behind.
“I… is this why you’re worried about Pax too? Did something happen to them? Did they happen to each other? Um, I mean, I’m a little confused.”
There was the idea too that they were obstacles – that, he wasn’t sure was totally different, but the question became, had they made progress towards the goals of Liam and Renard which had them charging forward? Or was it the reverse? Did they now need to scramble to catch up, or regain lost ground?
He frowned a bit gears turning.
Did he remember seeing Liam after the Void at all? What if they… undid… well, never mind.
