"So... you choosing to approach me and join my clan," I said as I looked toward Caius, "was that because your ability told you the outcome would be favorable?"
Caius shook his head.
"Not necessarily."
That immediately made me narrow my eyes slightly.
What the hell was that supposed to mean?
Seeing the look on my face, Caius continued before I could ask again.
"With you, the outcome was unclear."
"...Meaning?"
"There was no positive or negative result," he explained calmly. "Just... nothing."
That only made me frown harder.
No outcome?
That sounded far more unsettling than a bad one.
Most future-reading abilities at least showed some form of direction, even if vague. But according to Caius, when it came to me, there had simply been a blank.
"So why choose me then?" I asked.
Caius turned toward me as we continued walking through the corridor.
"Because the other outcomes were negative."
I furrowed my brow slightly at that answer.
