Sterling took a step back after jostling the men in front of her. She looked up but before she could say something rude her called her by her name. "Sterling. What are you doing here?" He sounded very disappointed and maybe a tinge of anger. She wanted to growl at being thought of as a child. Much less how he knew her name. And then she realized those big brown eyes looked familiar, like the photo of the man in the image who was her father.
"Nox?" Sterling asked cautiously but then her own realization got the better of her and she danced around a little before calming herself. "I was coming to see you." She took her cousin in. He was tall - very tall compared to her, but she was only fourteen after all. But still taller than her by far. He was carrying a plant on his bandaged arm. It was only a matter of moments before she realized why he was in the hospital. Her hands covered her mouth as she gasped. "How did you lose the arm? Oh, my, god, does it hurt? Can you feel it still? They say that amputees sometimes feel their missing limbs."
And then another thought occurred to her, she smiled over at the other man, he was cute if you like the boy next door - except he had a ragged scar across his neck and she frowned. What sort of things did these two do? Was it really that dangerous? Sterling offered the other man her hand. "I'm Sterling Mishina. Are you Nox's boyfriend?"
