Nico paused, "Or at the very least; if something does go wrong I know what it is and have a better idea about what I should do about it."

He rummaged in his pocket and pulled out a selection of vials. He spent a few moments examining them before selecting one and replacing the remainder in his pocket again. He unstoppered it and added the contents to Raiden's glass of water. "This is what I give Cela. You know when she gets all... excited about things? It is closer to the draught of peace than a regular calming draught; and I've made a few modifications to it so that it releases slowly over time- the more you drink of it the calmer you feel and yet it won't make you sleepy or dull your senses." Nicholai nodded and evanescoed the empty vial.

Nicholai saw Kayla out of the corner of his eye and immediately turned and wrapped one arm about her. He rested his head against her for a moment before pulling her closer and shifting over slightly so she could sit next to him. Without pause he continued speaking to Raiden and gestured with his free hand at the glass, not a trace of the draught he had added being visible in the water. "You can trust me to help you Raiden; can I trust you to tell me when you feel bad or if you need any help?"

Raiden winced and bit down on his lip again. Already, Nicholai Toussaint was doing it... treating him differently. He didn't want that. He wanted to be a normal 12 year old, and do things that normal 12 year olds did...

"I just... don't want people to look at me different. Now that you know about it, you're already looking at me like something's wro-"

He trailed off when Kayla appeared, and Nicholai was putting something in the glass... He bit down again on his lip and tasted a little drip of blood as he split the skin. He really needed to stop biting his lips...

"It won't make me sleepy?" He asked cautiously, looking at the glass. It still looked like water. Potions really were amazing... "I... I don't want to make you worry about me. I wouldn't be a good friend if I made everyone worry about me all the time..."

He stared at the glass, still trying to sort this all out. There was no getting around Nicholai Toussaint knowing. He knew. And he would always know. It was just a matter of handling it now... He licked the little scratch he'd made on his lip and rubbed the back of his neck, trying to think. Things... were definitely not going to be the same anymore.
