After Pride cut the connection, Nick looked at the Fallen.
Nick hadn't heard anything that they said, and he couldn't be sure what Pride was planning.
Nick waited in silence for a couple of seconds as he analyzed the Fallen standing beside him.
'It isn't interacting with me in any way, and it isn't doing anything. If Pride had given it a job, it would be moving around or talking to me. Pride also can't tell it to kill me since all of us know that it wouldn't be able to kill me while I'm standing beside the green wall.'
'The only way to kill me would be to lure me away from the wall, but it isn't doing that.'
'If they wanted to let this entire matter rest, the Fallen would just leave. If they wanted to make use of me, the Fallen would be talking to me right now or trying to get me to move away from the green wall.'
'Yet, the Fallen is just waiting in silence, doing nothing.'
