Bab 263: 257 ※ Nicholai vs Caspien [VII]

"So," I broke the silence after two minutes inside the Nicholai manor, feeling strangely familiar with it all, even though I hadn't been inside yet, and doing my best not to wonder if Joshua had, "will you come forth or keep shadowing me, sir Asher?"

Even without looking I felt him halting for a second, then he confidently strode forward and stood next to me, "How do you know my name?"

"Natasha told me," I purred, feeling the cat's eyes up on me, watching attentively.

This spirit is interesting, he definitely feels that something is wrong with me, that I'm painfully similar to Joshua, but can't quite understand why, he also probably knows I was touched by Alma, same goes for Joshua. He met Joshua, so I'm sure that he knows that my other self is mated to his... wife of sorts, but I doubt he told Natasha or she would know he has thievery magic with certainty, and she would get mad. I don't think he wants my unhinged beloved to do anything to his wife.
