After reviving his guard woman, Nicholas tolerated her fussing over him for a few moments before waving her off with a word that he was fine. Teagan soon excused herself eager to begin an investigation. Nic watched Charity finish her magic forensic evaluation of the scene, he could imagine what she was seeing.
“My great aunt apparently.” Nicholas said with an annoyed sigh as if what had happened to him was no more than an inconvenience. His pride had a vested interest in playing off the incident as nothing. “My grandmother was a firebrand, so I've heard. Apparently, she cursed her own sister.” He rolled his eyes and labored back to his feet. The effect of blood loss and magic use had left him feeling faint. He touched his temple and leaned against the wall for support while his vision cleared after standing up. The blood loss. He had something for that at home.
“And now she's uncursed. So I'm sure she's on her way back to Eskra.” He tried to lay a charming smile on Charity but felt too drained to make it believable.
“Since you're here, you could give me a lift home on your way back to town?" His question was less a question and more a demand or an expectation. How could she say no? "Your car will be fine. I'll have Teagan take mine back when she's finished here.”
