Bruce raised a brow at seeing Nexus allow Jenso past. It was neither what he anticipated nor entirely unexpected.

He sighed, his thought about Nexus' ability reaffirming itself. He tapped a finger against his once-again empty sheath. The worst part was being forcibly removed from his Sage state- it felt like a violation.

Bruce knew that his Ki and arcane powers were still [i]there[/i]. He had no evidence and couldn't feel them, but it wasn't quite blind faith, either. 

He had a sense that it was like muting music versus shutting it off- even if it was the same on the surface, with the former, it's still playing.

He just had to un-mute his music. 

Nexus' glare, and his sky blue eyes provoked an idea. A soft smile grew into Bruce's face.

[color=0072bc][i]'If the eyes see all, what happens when they don't?'[/i][/color] Bruce pondered, reaching into Jenso's bag to pull out a handful of sand. He filled his other hand with dust that had once been earth. He splayed his fingers out, letting the sand fall while he paced in front of Nexus, and blew the dust out toward him. 

Even if he couldn't sense the Earth quite how he did, he knew the subtle differences in sound of a tread over different materials. 

This done, Bruce closed his eyes. He couldn't know for sure how Nexus' ability worked, but if it wasn't solely a matter of Meta Energy, and was anything like Shaidra's teleporting, there was a possibility eye contact was linked to muting Bruce's powers.

Bruce waited. Until he was un-muted, he could only react, but he kept reaching out with his soul for his Ki and his Sage state. When he fond them again, the volume was going to come out blaring.

[color=0072bc]"I appreciate what you've done for me, and for Jenso,"[/color] Bruce said, eyes still shut, easy smile still present. [color=0072bc]"So I'm going to do something for you, Nexus."[/color]

[color=0072bc]"I'm going to give you that missing ending."[/color]
