[The only good aspect of this scenario was the same as the bad because he couldn't actually see the monsters, not their location, not their appearance. So, the horror was the build up of the unknown, but he suspected once he was in the situation of facing down his death, it would simply be instinctual fear and instinct. He could not actually know what it was that attacked him.

And House... well, there was no actual honour among thieves. They could travel together, but aside from conversation and a body shield, they were of no help to one another. It didn't mean he wasn't willing to have the company.]

[He smirked and then took the lead, this time not bothering to play games with House about it. He could care less that House was at his back, hadn't much the last time, but he liked to feed into that paranoia. This time, he wanted to be in the lead because he suspected that running into any prophets on their journey would benefit the one in the lead first. Who was he to deny that opportunity?]

You look far more healthy than usual. Did dying again do that for you?
