Midnite let John speak but he couldn't help his eyebrow from rising at what he got told. He was half expecting John to lie, but from what he was told by the demon who was pulling the strings on this whole operation, John was actually telling the truth. The mention of liking wild fires made him smirk briefly before he was narrowing his eyes at John again due to John turning his back on him. He himself signalled for his men to on guard and ready for anything, not trusting John in the slightest. 

Kay didn't know how to react to what John was saying, on one hand she appreciated he told the truth about wanting her to feel like a caged person or animal, but the wording choices also made her feel like an object and not a person at the same time. "Hmm" was all Kay could reply with. [i]"he's just playing the arrogant mage role Kay, do not fret about his wording"[/i] Fee reassured her in her head. 

With Drake exposing his arm, Fia quickly pulled out a marker pen and began drawing the rune needed, making sure to be precise and not mess it up, but also being as quick as she could be. Capping the marker pen when she done, she placed her hand over the drawn rune and said a few words in an old dead dialect. The rune glowed just enough to show it was activated, then dulled again but remained warm to the skin. She then activated her own rune that she had tattooed on her arms for quickness. "Okay, we're ready when he is" she told Serena and Kay. With their runes activated, every time they stepped their steps would be utterly silent.

Chas gave John a look of understanding and acknowledgement to show he was ready whenever John was, as well as keeping an eye on Midnite's men. Midnite found John's questions tiring to answer by this point, "I know who his vessel is, and I'm in the stages of retrieving said vessel" he simply said, not letting on whether he was bluffing or telling the truth.
