“Alice... I keep one secret, so you’ll keep one as well.” (Closed RP: acomicdreg)
“Alice,” Ikora spoke to the normally mute Awoken. The morning was young, the sun slowly rising to illuminate the world. Alice stopped, rubbing her eyes momentarily. She looked to the Warlock mentor with mild confusion.
“When one keeps a secret, it is like a favor you ask for. A debt, if you will. I keep the one of your voice from Henry, now I must have you keep one of my secrets away from... Your more interesting companion.” She spoke with a calm Alice felt came from rehearsal, and this induced a raised eyebrow.
“What do you ask of me,” Alice whispered, “And why keep it from Breaker?”
“To the point. I learn more of you every day. Come with me.”
As Ikora gestured, Alice followed. Meandering through the Tower, they found their way to one of the courtyards. This was the courtyard Shaxx was clearing out to be a Crucible site, but the early time of the morning reduced it to an empty area. Well, almost empty.
Alice was guided through a door, and she saw a Dreg. Behind it was a Ghost, and Alice spun around to face Ikora, who simply nodded.
“If you could,” Ikora exhaled, “Do get to know him. As you are an interesting specimen, so is he.”
