Kreeth was weird. She was Dark elemental, and one more piece of evidence in why you shouldn't judge by an elemental alignment. She moved wrong, and the wings made her size and frame deceptively tricky to figure out with a glance.

Nel liked her. She was respectful towards those that were respectful back, and had made a fantastic first impression on Hojo that had instantly endeared her to Nel.

She also knew a lot. Nel hadn't asked Kreeth much about her activities, just in case she didn't want to know the answer, but she got the impression that Kreeth had been around the block a few times, and run into plenty of nasty things on her travels. Probably done them, too, to be a member of Khamja.

So when Kreeth named the thing that was approaching that had set Gamuza's hackles to rising, Nel didn't doubt her. She just didn't know what the name meant. "What's a Noah?" she asked, feeling the presence approaching.

She made herself let go of her cup in case she squeezed it a bit too hard.
