Derlik shook his head slightly.
"It's… Halm's," he said softly.

"Oh… I guess that makes sense. He deserves to feel bad though, right? He wasn't very nice to us."

"I… yeah," Derlik said softly. Still, how dim it was… it was cocerning at best.

Nix didn't really understand exactly how dark it needed to be in order for it to be concerning, but he tried to not feel guilty for it anyway. Halm had done horrible things to all three of them. He should feel bad.

The water itself was nearly as dim as normal water. That… Derlik shook his head softly. It was Halm's own fault.
"Do you think these are pretty?" He asked instead.

"Mhmm! They're real shiny. Can I touch yours?" Nix asked curiously, reaching one hand out towards the water.

Derlik tilted his head.
"Sure!" He said. "But it might be a bit of a surprise." He chuckled, knelt down so Nix could reach, and chuckled a bit. When Nix touched the water, it caused a perception shift. He wasn't seeing through his own eyes anymore- he was seeing through Derlik's.
Surprised? You're hearing my thoughts right now too. Derlik chuckled again.

Nix jumped a bit when he suddenly wasn't seeing through his own eyes, clearly bewildered. "That's weird… but also cool!" He smiled brightly down at the water. "Does it do that for everyone else too? And do they know that you're looking at their thoughts or no?"

It does. Derlik didn't answer out loud, knowing it would cause a weird echoing chamber of sorts. And we don't know. The only reason I do is because you're right here. Derlik smiled, lightly placing his hand on Nix's head.

Nix purred a bit and nuzzled against Derlik after pulling his hand out of the water. "That's cool! Don't you guys exploit it sometimes, though?"

"Sometimes." Derlik smiled, sitting down by the side of the lake with Nix in his lap.
"Usually, though, we respect each other's privacy. It's like an unspoken thing- don't mess with each other's minds."

"Mm…" Nix fell quiet for a while as he looked down into the water. "Why's Halm doing so badly, though?"

Derlik was quiet a moment.
"I don't know," he finally admitted, looking over to the dim lake. "I don't know…"

Nix sighed softly. "He seemed really upset when we left, but… we had every right to, you know?"

"Yes, you all did." Derlik let out a quiet breath, arms around Nix's waist. "He deserves to feel like this," he added quietly.

Nix nodded a bit and huddled closer. "Yeah… what we had was so good, but he ruined it…"

Derlik ran his fingers through Nix's hair, nodding a bit.
"I know," he said softly. He held Nix close.

"I don't wanna think about that right now, though… it'll just upset me again." Nix fidgeted nervously with his hands.

"Alright then. Here, let's talk about something else." Derlik held Nix close, humming softly.
"Would you like to know anything about us gods?"

"Mm… I dunno. Is there anything you wanna tell me?" Nix asked curiously, turning his gaze up to Derlik.

"Well, I could tell you about how us gods work, or I could tell you what I know about the others." Derlik smiled a bit, looking back at Nix.

"Whichever you wanna say first is fine… I don't have anywhere to be right now." Nix yawned a bit.

"Well, I think it would be fun to talk about the other gods. How many do you know about?" Derlik smiled, patting Nix's back when he yawned.

"Uhm… I know you, and Halm, and miss Serna, and… the mean one whose name I forgot who upset Cas… Halm mentioned some other ones but I forgot their names."

Derlik thought a long moment.
"Alright then… The first thing I'm going to say is that if someone ever introduces themself as Astral, run. I don't care what's happening, or how nice he's talking to you, never let him near you, never let him talk to you, and never let him touch you."
