Last spark from the ashes

"At least they're willing to behave themselves now they have that base." Kinner's still uneasy, but he's willing to trust Blaze's judgement. She was his field general and she knows the Fallen better than anyone else he fought beside. "I mean, just 'cause they aren't causing trouble here doesn't mean they won't cause trouble somewhere else. But there isn't really anything we can really do about that. Best we can do is make sure nobody wanders onto their territory and gets themselves killed."

He anxiously looks in the direction of the Wilds. "I would feel better if we had some idea of what they're up to out there." Pelsor hadn't said she wouldn't use the Nexus as a base to attack other worlds or gather weapons for the war back home. Kinner's worried about that, but realistically their hands are tied. Not that he's happy about that, but he's not one to advocate a losing battle. He's not fool enough to suggest they go spy, either. "I was wonderin' if you saw anything that could be a clue to their plans while you were there, Ghost."

"Game." Kinner laughs with a hint of veiled contempt. "So, all that was a game to him, more or less. Well, Reynard had his fun with all of us. I just hope he goes easier on us next winter."

He's intrigued when Blaze mentions the Fallen code of honor. "What's this code of honor about, anyway? I've heard of it before. Thieves and pirates aren't usually the honorable sorts of people, but from what I understand they aren't the same sort of pirates my world had. What kind of rules do they have?"
