Listener winced in pain as Ruskali grabbed her shoulders. It made it difficult to listen to him, but she did her best. Mad or not. Ruskali did not seem to be one capable of lying. All she needed to do was figure out which parts of his ramblings were factual and which were simply ravings. A part of her was hurt by the clear and obvious fact that he was not truly listening to what she had just said. She couldn't linger for long on her feelings as Ruskali started to suddenly change as he shouted out "Secure the Light".

She gasped and pulled away from him with her free hand hovering over her mouth whispering. [color=pink]"Oh no."[/color]

She then cleared her throat and spoke into her headpiece. [color=pink]"Uh... guys... Ruski has become a, uh, host for a Nox."[/color] 

Listener raised her spear with an expression of discomfort and concern. Here was a Nox possessing the body of a human. Would killing the Nox kill the human it possessed? Her spirit wavered as she started to doubt herself and her ability to deal with the Nox. She had made mistakes before that had hurt people, but she never directly hurt anyone with her own hands. She felt herself shaking as she stared down the foe before her.

She took a deep breath. She was in a crowded area. It would not be long before the Nox started to attack other people. She had to defend them. She aimed for his mouth as she tearfully struck forth hoping she could end the Nox without ending Ruskali with it. She thought she would be fine with the dark reality that she knew she would have to deal with as a Ze, but what if she was wrong?
