[It takes a while for Nothlit to get over to Bridge's place, because of the wind, but eventually he manages. He changes into human form, remembering to put on clothes, and knocks on the door.]

Hey! It's me!

[Bleary-eyed, Bridge answers the door and opens it to let Nothlit inside. Spike isn't present, Tom is curled up asleep on his pillow, and Logan Sparky McRuffles the 2nd lay in one corner, looking over at the door and thumping his tail as Nothlit enters.]

Hey. Come on in, and excuse the mess...

It's all right.

[He steps inside, and looks at Tom as if trying to remember something. He shakes it off and looks back at Bridge.]

What happened?

[Bridge rubs the back of his head and plops down on his futon, wondering where to start, how much he should tell.]

...Have I ever explained my powers to you before?

[He holds up his leather-gloved hands.]

Not really.

[Cocks his head, looking very birdlike.]

What do they do?

... I'm an empath. My powers are channelled through my hands; it's why I wear gloves all the time. Without them, I can see auras around people- colors that represent their moods and thoughts and feelings. And when I touch things with my bare hands, I can- see flashes of where that person or object has been.

[He takes a deep breath.]

Kazahana- she's a friend of Bastet's, don't know if you know either of them- was killed. Bastet asked me to... help investigate her death with my powers.

[Nothlit doesn't say anything for a long moment, and then nods.]

I'm sorry. Is there anything I can get for you that might help?

[Bridge smiles slightly.]

Thanks, but I think I'm going to be alright. I just... needed a while to process everything. And I'm glad I get to be useful for once... a lot of the time, there's nothing I or anybody can do about disappearances.

That's how the Sphere seems to be. It doesn't mean we have to like it, though.

[He looks thoughtful for a moment.] Let me know if you do think of something, okay?

Yeah, that's very true. So when we DO have a chance to get to the bottom of stuff, we should take it.

[He nods slowly, his smile becoming broader.] I'm just happy I've got awesome friends like you here. It helps.

Right.

[His cheeks flush a little in embarrassment.]

I'm not... I... thanks.
