With one hand, Joshua closes his scriptures and puts them down next to him. With the other, he makes an open, inviting gesture. What exactly she wants to talk about he isn't sure, but she seems uncomfortable. Not that that's telling him much.

Secrecy has never been his game. Next to him, his dæmon looks up at him, and finally sits up, keeping close to her human, watching curiously.]
