Sylas stood in silence for a long while. It was hard to tell if he was thinking of much of anything at all. Yet, whether it was Old Brama, Alex, or the woman, none of them said anything.
It seemed that after Jala's death, there was a slight shift in the air. Though Sylas still acted the same as always, the same wasn't true of Old Brama or Alex.
In reality, of the three, Alex definitely had the deepest understanding of Sylas. But even Alex himself had to admit that he had maybe gotten a bit too comfortable.
He had started to call Sylas "Psycho Syl" for a reason. There was a hidden sharpness within Sylas that was so well maintained and controlled that it rarely reared its ugly head.
Maybe if Alex had seen Sylas after the matters with Nyssa happened, he wouldn't have neglected this so easily. But after having to wipe Jala's blood clean from the ship, it was something he would surely never forget again.
