Dorian glanced down at his empty tumbler with a nod. "Never let a mate drink alone." He waved for another drink. This wasn't a meeting of friends, or even enemies or business partners - strangers of similar minds. Though Dorian knew nothing of the man.
"Why? I don't know. He's a boy who thinks himself a god?" The thought made Dorian laugh out loud. Nox had an ego, but he definitely didn't think himself a god. He thought a great deal of himself but he was not one to be worshiped in that sense anyway. "He knows nothing else. Born into it all. Can you imagine growing up on the road in the middle of the United States. Learning to read and write from online tutors. Playing with weapons and in addition to learning everything we did as children. Learning how to hunt monsters. He's never held a real job in his life. He's never had a roof over his head he didn't pay for in rental fees or none at all. I imagine he and his family spent many a night in their cramped vehicle too far away from civilization to find a room to sleep in, but too cold to pitch a tent." Dorian sighed, "Who raises a kid like that?"
