He carefully... methodically.... collects the equipment needed from their storage locations in his room, and retrieves his ever-shrinking sample of hairs obtained at great cost from the Red Poet. When he takes out the tube that contains the cloth they are kept in, he makes sure to block Gabe's view, as a matter of course - it's almost expected, in this situation.He proceeds to cast the Ritual, but not before asking Gabe, "So how does that work, with the Blood Stone, and tracking the Feral's location?Do you sense where exactly it may be, or do you just sense the direction it is from yourself?Do you believe he escaped the Anarch's clutch?Can you sense movement, perhaps?"Nikolai expresses a hint of hope on the last question.</blockquote>
