Pulling over a small ottoman to sit on Tao shook his head. "It wasn't a reprimand. It was a reminder. I am sure by now you understand that to expose me would put you and once your challenges are met, your murder in danger as well. You simply seem, unsteady right now."
Straightening his own shoulders he settled himself. Feeding energy to Wolfram would have to be done carefully if he was doing so any time other than the challenges he would need the energy for. "I'm afraid I do not have your abilities. I am, aware, of the shadows, but I exist in the shadows so have become accustomed to it." He nodded to the food again. "Eat something."
"Siegfried does not share the ability to, touch the void?" It was the only way he could think to explain it. He was sure that was incorrect but as he didn't plan on doing so again if he could help it, then it wasn't important for him to completely understand it. He glanced at Wolfram's arm. He had been attacked by Siegfried before. He wasn't sure that he would be able to take another attack right now. He needed rest. So did Tao, but he would be asleep before the sun rose. "He will not wait for the challenge."
