Despite being correct on his statement from earlier, Nemo couldn't help but feel slightly vexed over the exact time Felix had showed up. Nemo shook his gloved hand like he was trying to get water off of it, dispersing the preparations he had made for his next spell. "How very anti-climactic..." He mumbled
After Thadeus and the remains of his crew retreated, Nemo seemed more interested in something other than the still-going skirmish between Travis and Alya. He veered off and slowly walked over to the body of Nevar. Crouching down, Nemo examined his body for a few moments before speaking. "Hope there aren't any hard feelings between us, me cutting you in half and all."
For once Nemo seemed to be showing a sign of genuine remorse, however that sentiment quickly became questionable when Nemo placed his thumb on Nevar's chin and moved his jaw up and down like a puppet. "It's just a flesh wound. How could I holda grudge against you Nemo? We're still pals to the end, friend." Nemo said with a goofy impersonation of Nevar's voice.
"Oh geez, that's mighty kind of you... I'm touched." Nemo replied. "Say, I don't suppose you'd mind if I... took your manadial, huh slick?" He asked.
"Of course not Nemo, take anythin' you want. It's on ma wrist. Not like I'm gonna be usin' em anytime soon." He used his fingers to force Nevar's mouth into a comical smile after the joke. Nemo glanced down and pulled up the sleeve on Nevar's left wrist, only to find a bare wrist. "No Nemo, ma other wrist," He pushed Nevar's head to the side, if his eyes hadn't been closed the entire time it would be looking at his severed forearm, still gripping his rapier off laying on the ground. Nemo used his other hand to hold open his eyes for him. "over there."
"Thanks buddy." Nemo finished, patting him on the cheek before standing back up. Nemo started walking back to Felix and Raiya, picking the arm up on the way.
"Looks like I found my souvenir." Nemo commented, inspecting the edge of the blade as he began to scavenge the arm, absorbing the rings and sword into his inventory first. He then pulled the manadial from his wrist, using his manalysis to check for anything suspicious. Nemo brought the piece up to his mouth and whispered something, initiating a spell to disarm any possibility of tracking it further.
Once finished, Nemo absorbed Nevar's manadial and tossed his severed arm off behind his shoulder, figuring saving the bones probably wasn't worth the effort. By this point Nemo had arrived back by his "partner" Raiya and looked off towards Travis and Alya, not saying anything about what just transpired. As Nemo stared down Alya, he placed his left hand over the damage he suffered earlier in the fight. Suddenly the same manathread he used to defeat Nevar appeared en masse, rapidly sewing up both the wound on his arm and rip in his jacket.
A thought crossed his mind that quickly caused Nemo to turn and look to Raiya. "Are you hurt? I could... help." He asked, recalling her battle earlier. He realized afterwards it was unlikely she would take him up on that offer even if she was injured. If Raiya didn't have anything herself to use, she probably would feel much more at ease with Felix aiding her, coupled with his healing magick likely being much more advanced and comfortable than his own uncanny way of doing it.
As Nemo spoke his sewing finished. Shortly after the manathread seemed to fade with a healing/repairing effect, making the jacket look like it had never been cut at all. Nemo shifted the position of his fingers, causing a change in the spell. The feathers which spilled out from his jacket in the fight were replaced. And finally after one last shift, a very feint hum emanated from his palm, cleaning up any signs of blood and causing the stains to magically recede into nothing.
One could only imagine the countless hours Nemo sunk into developing various repair and restoration spells for his possessions.
