He was confused as to what Sah was actually trying to say — was he really insulting the Sentinel, or just jesting at his friend? — when he used his magic to teleport to Deimos’ side.

”C’mon, Sah.” Noah called out when he appeared next to the Sword. Did he call me dense? Noah asked across the attuned bond before the Wild Thunder could meet them.

And if you drink the water,
