Eventful couple of days.
Nox Team is aware of what I am. As it should be.
However, due to Mr. Birch's visions, he, Massena, and the younger miss Schmitt are aware of Marcus's deeper secret of his existence. And so I needed to go speak with him.
He took it extremely well, commenting that the trust he extended me for his secret extends, for now, with Ultor. That is much more than I was expecting...and nearly as worrying. I've been part of this other world for long enough to realize that there's a good chance the other shoe will drop.
As he said, I just need to prepare.
After that we made small talk, him about his family, and me about mine. He reassured me that, eventually, Viviana will speak to me about why she is acting as she is.
It has been noticeably quiet around my house as of late and Viola's distractions are only marginally successful. I have been physically idle for too long, letting the seeds of my powerbase grow. I have not returned to the ranch as I said I would, I have not bothered to retrieve Lightning from Agnes, I have done nothing but play at corporation building and Kindred politics.
I need to go hunting again. I have rested on my laurels for too long. Soon, if they have not already, the events of Traven Towers, Birkin's actions, and the God Machine will fade into memory and I will be faced with "what have you done lately?"
Though I suppose the discoveries of Mr. Stillwater's legacy will shock and awe at least part of the Kindred.
I have two parties to host in a week or so: Nadya's graduation and the company Christmas party. And then Viola and I will be taking Mr. Birch to accept Marcus's invitation for Christmas.
It is not going to be a dull week, at least.
