They walked in the direction of Nox's room. The man offered his name, he'd never heard of it before, so not a friend from before. A new one. Dorian offered his own with a nod to acknowledge he wouldn't be alone if Nox did something bad. If he did, Dorian had no idea who he'd bring with him. Ivan was the only one he knew who might have a chance against a man who trained himself to be a weapon with the power of the gods. The Ascendancy was fearful in his right with that power, but the things Nox did with it. And Nox was afraid of what others could do with the power. That was a sobering thought. "Dorian Vega." He didn't want to say friend, or colleague, he wasn't sure what Nox told Raffe.
"Don't tell me he saved you from whatever got you?' The boy was always saving someone - pulling in strays, making friends of those you least expected. But whatever had gotten this man Dorian hoped was dead or put away. That didn't look pleasant in the least. But he wouldn't pry into the specifics.
The door to Nox's room was open and there were three medical personal in the room, one sitting in a chair waiting while the nurse stood back waiting instructions and the other doctor was unwrapping a bandage from Nox's arm. Or what had been his arm. He stood there gawking openly at the missing limb. It looked like it had been severed with a hot blade from the way the skin was healing.
The doctor looking at the wound was nodding. "Whoever did this at least did a good job. It's healing nicely, we'll get someone in here to cleans the burn and then the surgeon will come in and make sure everything goes where it's supposed to." He turned to the open door and gave them a smile. "One of you is Detective Vega."
Dorian nodded. "I am. Tell me what's going on." Dorian let the man finish wrapping the bandage around Nox's arm and then Dorian lead him out of the room with the other doctor. The nurse followed slowly behind leaving Nox with his friend Raffe while he got a medical explanation and then he'd get the truth from Nox. He had to smooth over all the rough edges Nox was likely to have caused.
