Turning his attention to the other city, Noah nodded. ”I’m interested to see how things with Stormbreak work out. I have a…certain presence there, being a demigod.” There was a discomfort behind Noah’s words that manifested in the tightening of his shoulder muscles. There was a weight to his name that he wasn’t sure he would ever be able to live up to. ”I can convene with their government. I don’t know all of them, but there are some I am familiar with.” Less now that The Order no longer ruled, or Ronin after them. When Deimos mentioned maps, Noah smiled, but lifted a brow. ”Did you offer her the same in return?” There was a joke there behind his words — Halo was much smaller than the skyward city, easy enough to get your bearings about.

Then, he answered another inquiry. ”I think we should try for mageglass.” He leaned his weight off his arms, if only to release the tension between his shoulders. Although the mineral did not help him, there were so many it could.

And I wanna tell you who I am
