Daniel appears beside Noe.
Instead of greeting Daniel with a normal kiss or hand-hold, Noe keeps his arms respectfully behind his back. Noe turns to Daniel, "How did it go?"
"Stop that," Daniel engulfs Noe in a hug. As Daniel steps back, he catches the prying eyes of soldiers boring into them.
"I know you have control over the situation," Noe nods. Carefully, Noe eases in a suggestion, "What if I flew the battalion and army of souls to Northville? Would that be a good idea for you?" Noe walks on eggshells to avoid over-stepping Daniel's boundaries.
Daniel deeply assesses the surety in Noe's gaze. "You have enough energy."
Noe jokes, "Sometimes, I feel as if I have all the energy in the world."

Like a swarm of locusts, the clad in black battalion merges with the green of Terry's army. Together, they form a flying layer that extends for miles over the Earth. Upfront, Noe leads them to places untrod and futures unknown.
