Nick woke up with a startle and looked towards Derek and Kat after smiling
at Julia. "Thanks" he whispered. "Better you waking me up then Derek or
Phillip" he whispered. He then looked around to see where Phillip was
standing.
Philip looked at the ring in the box for a moment before accepting it.
He had fought his place in the Legacy for so long it was - well it was a
kind of wake up call for him to see the symbol of belonging. He fingered
the edges, realizing he had already made up his mind about being more
involved in the House.
Since Julia's return to be exact. He even reminded himself of what he had
been thinking while helping Derek. That he was helping *their* Precept.
But he still had to find a balance between the House and the Church, he
thought as he slipped the ring back into place, on the opposite hand of his
clerical one, not missing the almost symbolic gesture there either. One
ring per hand; balance.
He would find it within himself.
He looked up just then and caught Nick's gaze, smiling sheepishly before
announcing to the others "I'm starved, let's eat." and going to go help
himself to the makings that had been brought in and piling himself up a good
one.
