Cole had been tempted to give his default rebuttal after Cat made her wish on the bike, to explain that the wishes didn't work that way. That<i>he </i>didn't work that way... but a pause was given as he considered her wish. He would think on it long and hard during their ride to the reservation, never fulling deciding if it was possible. He had no oath to her in the way that he did to Ezra, but perhaps the terms of Ezra's order were sufficient enough to... He frowned and shook his head. Cole took the oath with Ezra out of necessity, and a deep respect. It meant surrendering a degree of free will, but the dynamics of their relationship were such that he was ok with that. He didn't need to understand her orders, he just had to follow them. Cat was different. On some level, perhaps a more honest level, he wanted to help her because it was something<i>he </i>chose to do.<br/><br/>It was a few moments later when he prompted his question about other darksiders in her tribe.<br/><br/>“Honestly there are many like me - none quiet so strong as me though. But they will not be able to do much if the lore is true - shush now you’ll see when we get there” she had replied. Cole frowned slightly. If she was referring to the Wendigo, then that did not inspire confidence. Still, Cole had a card or two to play yet. He shifted in his seat against Cat and stayed silent as instructed for the rest of the way, thinking to himself and attempting to ignore the distraction of Cat's warmth or the way she felt pressed against him.<br/><br/>When they arrived, Cole dutifully kept quiet and unobtrusive, even by Djinn standards. He was never out to make a scene, and his passive ability meant making a scene was improbable to begin with. Still, he shouldn't have been surprised when the elder woman spotted him so easily. She either had Cat's gifts, or she was just sharper than most. He watched as Cat and Elise spoke with one another. Cole didn't quite understand why, but he liked this woman. Maybe it was the way she seemingly disarmed Cat so easily, which was somewhat satisfying on a personal and professional level. He didn't even take offense when Elise referred to him as an 'outsider.' If anything, it was an apt description by almost every standard. He glanced between the two as Cat seemed to beg for a moment to speak privately with her grandmother only to be shot down multiple times, exasperating Cat. When she looked back to Cole, the usual impassive mask he held was at odds with a slight smile creeping onto his features. Cat would recognize that for Cole, it was the equivalent of a giant shit-eating grin. He was smart enough to keep any comments to himself though! When Cat pleaded with him to follow her lead and show understanding of her people and their ways, he only nodded and looked into her eyes, "To be fair, I have been following your lead all night. You shouldn't have any reason to think I'd stop now." He looked around at the celebration and then back to Cat, "You got me back to the queen. You let me warn her. You didn't have to do that. If you think I would not pay you the same respect in helping you ensure your tribe is warned and protected, then you must not have a very high opinion of me at all."<br/><br/>He gestured for her to lead the way.
