	Ezekiel tried to ignore the purring in his ear so he could focus on what the others were saying. It was rather difficult, and he lost track a few times, but he didn’t miss Nancy’s movement. He watched her stand abruptly, not being able to say the biggest weakness to her and well, everyone on this trip before she departed, saying he could tell the group. Ezekiel watched Nancy leave until she disappeared into her new seat. He slowly turned back around and started tapping the side of his leg in a nervous rhythm.
	It wasn’t like they had talked about this part before. Nancy had told him not to say anything and now she wanted him to. There was a fine line of saying too much and not enough and Ezekiel had no idea where that line was. Before he could even say anything, the others all divulged their weaknesses and secrets. Ezekiel half listened as he tried to figure out what to say.
	During that time, Demi moved from Zeke’s shoulders to his lap and Zeke used the distraction to clear his mind. He had seen cats before but never owned one or been friends with one. It was strange to have one sitting in his lap now. Stranger still to have one speaking.
	[color=#EEE8AA]”Wait, shadows following you? How long has that been going on?”[/color] Between Cassian and Demi, it seemed there was a lot that the demi-gods were keeping to themselves. He shook his head and looked out the window for a moment before speaking. 
	[color=#EEE8AA]”You know Nancy’s been inside the Lotus Hotel already, she ended up trapped there in the 80s. Unable to age and everything. Well, something incredibly traumatic happened to her that none of you need to know about in order to get the job done as far as I am concerned but that is her biggest weakness. The Lotus Hotel. Period. But she is here all the same because she understands the importance of a quest. So, even if the rest of us don’t get along or are mad at someone, we need to put our differences aside for this mission because Nancy is sacrificing a lot to be here and lead us back to her own personal hell and if we want to get out of that cursed place alive, we need to listen to what she has to say and do what she tells us to.”[/color] Ezekiel finished and stared at the black cat in his lap. Up until this point he hadn’t touched Demi but now he rested a hand on the cat and found his fur to be quite soft. How strange. He used the textile distraction to keep him from worrying if he had spoken true for Nancy or simply disappointed her.
