Did you?

[ his interest is immediate, and the tone of the Communion shifts on his end. the anxious static of concern fades, pushed aside by a hungry curiosity. he wants to know what it is and the mysteries it contains so he can figure out where to place it in his growing mental map of this world. ]

Did it remind you of home?

[ he isn't sure why he calls it home. his world hasn't felt like home in a long time. he was a wanderer, simultaneously the hunter and the hunted. never resting. a dwindling hope of ever returning to his own system because his lyctors died faster than his enemies.

at least he'd had his war.

for set's benefit then, even though he has no idea if he might feel the same way as a human might. john can only assume, remembering the image of the woman he'd seen when they'd been together in Communion with the Tree. for a moment, she had been annabel and quetzalcoatl and someone he had never seen before all at once. it's a reasonable assumption to make, but he's been wrong plenty. ]
