Shadow Slave
Chapter 1054
He looked around, studying the barrier and the crowded pier that could be seen through the mesh. Then, suddenly, Sunny heard a familiar voice:
"Move back, damn it! Don't push! If you have a spot in the queue, present an ID! If you are a member of the First Army, come that way! Get a hold of yourself and behave like people!"
He looked around and saw a tall, handsome man with indigo eyes and hair that seemed somewhere between black and blue standing in front of the barrier, struggling to hold back the panicked crowd.
Sunny raised an eyebrow.
Pushing closer to the man, he called out:
"Naeve? What the hell are you doing here?"
The man — it was indeed Master Naeve of the House of Night — blinked a couple of times, then looked in his direction with a confused expression.
"...Sunny? Gods, it's you! What are... ah, doesn't matter. I'm now in charge of boarding, I guess."
Sunny led his group to the barrier, stopping right in front of the Nightwalker. Naeve gestured for a nearby Awakened to assume his position and took a step to the side.
He gave Sunny a somber look.
"That ship over there is where I'm assigned to. We are going to leave once we're at capacity… actually, we are already over capacity. But a few more people can still be squeezed in, so..."
Sunny frowned.
"What about Bloodwave?"
The Nightwalker sighed.
"He led the other ship away a few hours ago, with Saint Tyris aboard. There will be more ships tomorrow, and more the day after that… if the Winter Beast does not arrive sooner. But Uncle won't be coming back. He'll guard the strait until the… until the relocation is over. And then, we will resume evacuating people over the ocean, to the Northern Quadrant."
Sunny nodded.
'Figures.'
"Listen…"
Naeve spoke first, interrupting him:
"Do you need to get on the ship?"
Sunny grew quiet, suddenly ashamed for no reason. Strangely, he felt thankful to the Nightwalker for not forcing him to say it aloud.
