After their fight, Nika and Uriel's relationship finally solidified into something more than friendship, though not in the sense she would have liked. The bond they shared didn't involve any bedroom activities, but they were intimate in other ways.
While Uriel didn't particularly liked the idea of being possessed by Nika and still had a hard trying to wrap his head around that idea, he did feel closer to her. There was a special sincerity between hunters that could only be achieved after a fight. After all, words can be deceiving, but fists don't lie.
