It was blatantly obvious that he was the proverbial 'odd man out' as Kaine would say, but neither of those things would change the matter at hand. He was still being asked to travel to different universes, to voluntarily keep himself away from home. And to do so at the request of some so called Sorceror in a frilly cape. Lunacy.
He looked down at his hands as he gently closed them, concentrating on his internal energies as he attempted to reach out and touch the energies of the world...or rather...moon, around him. Slowly his eyelids flittered down, shutting as contact was attempted with the greater power. The hand on his left fell back to his side as he focused on the palm of his right, trying to visualize and form in his mind the effigy of the small pixies he had used to entertain the child back on Ciress.
Unmoving air was parter ad he opened his fingers, his eyes following suit. For surely if that was Earth in the sky's backdrop, then this universe could not be to vastly different from his own, and his magics should still surely work. But if they failed him now, even after his time spent in both Negation and Normal space....then he was truely somewhere new. Somewhere between the lives he new. Somewhere where he would need to make a decision. One he wasn't sure he was capable of making.
