Jax was completely unaware of what he'd achieved last night.
The long, intense session with Nerith had pushed him past a milestone. His devotion points now sat at 1013. Enough for a new affinity he wanted.
But he didn't know that. Because he was sleeping like a log.
Until a voice pierced through his unconsciousness.
"Jax, wake up! Hurry, mother is outside!"
His eyes cracked open. Zero understanding of the situation registered in his brain.
"I don't have a mother."
He turned over and went back to sleep.
Nerith shook him harder. "It's MY mother! She wants to talk!"
Jax mumbled into the pillow. "Then go talk. What do I have to do with it?"
A pillow slammed into his face.
"Come on, be in your senses!" Nerith's voice was panicked. "I can't open the door with you lying here naked! And she wants to talk with YOU too!"
Jax finally grasped a sliver of the situation. "Give me one more minute."
Then promptly returned to sleep.
