Isla.
Isla, leaving King’s End. Leaving Sunjata’s brothel. Leaving Sunjata’s refuge. Leaving Suntaja’s company.
There was a name he knew to follow a woman named Isla, and until this moment, Noah had believed her head. Isla the Remedy. Isla the Remedy, an ascended.
Noah’s blood ran cold and hot at the same time. Heat crept up the back of his neck and over his ears, but the color seemed to drain from his face. His glacier eyes kept impassable, cold, but he stuffed his hands in his pockets to keep the clenching of his fists hidden.
He blinked, her words ringing fuzzy in his ears. He didn’t grasp what she said about the brothel, or the chuckle that wrapped around her voice. His head throbbed. She asked about the Grounds - he heard that part. ”N-no.” He said, coughing in an attempt to disguise the way his voice stuttered. ”Halo.”
His eyes flicked sideways towards her, trying to read her face for any of the recognition in her that mirrored the recognition within him that caused his body to malfunction.
