There was just something about this woman that made him smile. She teased and flirted and it was harmless. And Nox thought at least he'd grown a little since the last girl he was with. And the one before that. Emily he'd walked out on, took advantage of her naivete and slept with her. Elyse too, that was innocence despite the dangerous life style. But there wasn't any of that here. Would he? Yes. He was still a man, he still found women attractive, but it was like a piece had fallen into place.
Thalia was already leading the way to the dance floor. Liquid courage was not needed, and he didn't need any spurring to let the music take hold. Shioban West sang for Blarney Stoned back in the day, but Nox hadn't exactly followed her much since then. Nox hadn't followed Aiden either, and he'd turned up on his doorstep a fucking god. And rumor was that she was a wolfkin too. The wolf motif was too much of a coincidence and while the general public didn't really see it, all the Atharim would. It was amazing she hadn't been targeted like Methos had been.
Nox took a mental note to tell Aiden so he could warn his friend. Sage talked a lot even if it was through typing and he had been checking on him all day. But right now was about the dancing. There was no need to show off, but the floor was empty save the two of them and there was no better time than to 'bust a move' as they said.
The music flowed through him. He had the urge to use the Methos artistry he'd done at home so many times and not that anyone would really notice, he hadn't intended to grab the power, but he did, and for the first time it hadn't burned and seared at his soul, though Nox barely noticed the difference, as he focused on moving. it wasn't not a prescribed dance, just moving as the music moved him, the light show around them was enhanced by his own power. It was more habit than anything. The two went hand in hand these days.
It was calming. Freeing and most of all it cleared his mind of all problems - a great ending to a day of being a normal boy.
