Not yet, at least. Davriel was starting to think it might well be a good idea to get his hands on one of these cards just to ensure the deck couldn't be used... or not without his approval, at least.<br/><br/>As for using the deck himself... the thought hadn't even crossed his mind up until now. Who'd be dumb enough to use a power like that on a whim? Something he could barely even begin to understand. No, that wasn't him at all. Power without control... was simply chaos. Though the idea of that power sitting in another's hands didn't sit well with him either.<br/><br/><strong>"Whatever you think you know about me, I have no more desire to see what you're describing become a reality than you yourself do. You'll find I am a very rational person."</strong><br/><br/>There was more to unpack there, of course, like the fact the wizard was insinuating he was from the future. Or suffering from the world's most extreme case of deja vu. Davriel didn't pry though. Some things were best left hidden.<br/><br/><strong>"...Suppose I agree to stay out of this. Conceal it from the powers that be. How do I benefit? How does House Nox benefit? What's in it for <em>us</em>? Surely you don't expect me to turn a blind eye to all this because I'm feeling <em>charitable</em>. And what guarantee do I have that this won't come back to bite me?"<br/></strong><br/><br/>Davriel very much doubted the wizard would be willing to bargain, or he'd already have called Milena over. And even if the wizard was willing, Davriel had no intentions of making a deal he didn't fully understand the rammifications of. But it wouldn't hurt to try to draw out a few of the wizard's cards.
