"Thanks," Marcus agrees with a nod when Dan asks about coffee. "Kat's still in the guest room. I think she's awake, but I'm going to let her rest. As for Trass..." He nods over toward the fire where the wolf is still curled, his snout resting on his paws. At the sound of his name, his eyes open and look toward the kitchen, but he doesn't move from where he's settled himself. He huffs out a breath, then closes his eyes again.

"I think he did some good things up there," he says, but he doesn't elaborate. He doesn't think he can. Whatever Trassel did in Kagura, he won't be able to tell anyone. "And I suspect he'll go back once he's rested."

Because whatever is happening up there isn't over yet. Marcus can still feel it hovering over them, over the entire city. He doesn't need to leave the safety of the house to feel it.
