Bond took care of Harry, settling him into a makeshift jail and setting a guard on him. He'd have to talk to Harry, the cooler head, about what to do with the man. Bond would just as likely murder him, but there had been a club full of witnesses.

Once Harry was secure and he was sure Nyx had time to recover a bit, he found his way to the nymph's room. Hex let him in with a warning that Nyx wasn't himself.

Clearly. He looked a mess.

"How are you feeling, Nyx?" Bond said with a note of genuine concern.

Nyx had refused to dress for a while, but had eventually been convinced to pull on a thin white tunic. He watched Bond with dark eyes, sniffing the air, then flashing his teeth.

"I am hurt," he replied simply.

Nyx was silent for a moment, then wet his lips with a quick flick of his tongue.

"I want to see him. I want to speak. I want... Answers. Why he hurt me."

"Magic. He was sad, I offered kindness. He hit me," Nyx replied. "I want to speak to him," he demanded, before hissing in annoyance.

"I have never been more myself," Nyx said. "What do you wish to trade? I will trade to get what I want."

"I need why," Nyx replied, looking frustrated with himself as he struggled to sound as eloquent as he could.

"...I want to know what made him mad," he managed finally.

Nyx tilted his head, looking Bond over.

"You are violent too, should I beware of you?" he asked.

Nyx considered that, then nodded just once.

Nyx frowned in disapproval. He didn't wish such a fate on anyone.

"I think you simply have bloodlust."

Tame, and in his more human form, Nyx would have been touched by that. As he was, however, he could only feel doubt.

Bond never spoke to him like a friend, he used him like a tool.

The fae hummed, nodding slightly.

"I heal fast. You know this. You've tested it," Nyx pointed out. "Why are you really here?" he pressed.

Nyx wandered closer, giving Bond a sniff.

Nyx was silent a beat, then leaned in, up on his toes slightly as he whispered into Bond's ear.

"You smell like murder. Death. ...Lies," he whispered, drawing away and putting one finger to his lips, as though promising to keep a secret.

...For now.

"Some things don't come clean," Nyx replied.

"Maybe," Nyx replied. "But I'm not speaking with him, I'm speaking with you."

Nyx imagined he knew plenty.

"No," he replied simply. "Unless you want to share something"

Nyx tensed, not sure why he suddenly felt nervous. It was as though the air itself shifted.

"Yes, well, I might not make it this week."

"We will see," the fae replied, his voice a low rumbling purr.

"Not at the moment, but I will tell you if we do," Nyx replied, noting the arousal.

"When it is ready, just come see me. I will come," Nyx said, offering no timeline.

Nyx smiled, a flash of teeth that felt more lie a warning than friendly.

"Goodnight, James."
