[ nyx shrugs half a shoulder with a sardonic smile when regis says he does himself a great injustice. he'd be pleased, if he knew he made such an impression. regis himself has more than earned nyx's respect, both for the battle and everything he's done.

he doesn't hold it against the king, what the other lucians think of the galahdian immigrants. everyone close to him - cor, clarus, the prince - have shared the same thoughts, that it isn't fair. and he knows if regis didn't play the game of politics, he'd be denounced as a tyrant. ]

I won't lie... what he gets up to sometimes gets around to the Glaives. Especially when you send one of us to clean up after him or catch him.

[ he grins. ]

But he's a good kid, as I said. He's got a good head on his shoulders, like his dad.

[ he gives regis a little wink before he turns to check on the meat that's simmering in the broth. ]
