Kintsugi

[Nox]

Nox found himself pressed against the wall with the bunny clutched to his face. He felt the horde but they avoided the surface thoughts. It made him smile as he leaned against the wall and waited for the serum to wear off. No telling when that would be.

Could be an hour, could be days. He crawled across the cage to his phone and sent Carmen and Dorian a text so they wouldn't worry


Might not be in. Experimented with the power and trapped in the cage I made till I can touch the power again.

The little girl poked her head out of the crevice she'd hidden in. Nox gave her a crooked smile and went back to the other side of the cage. "I'm gonna borrow your bunny till I can get us out of here, okay?"

She nodded and sat down near the hole she'd crawled out of. Nox introduced himself and starte tell her a story . His story. Not because he thought it was full of fun and adventure, but because it was something he could remember. He didn't say I did this, or Aurora did that. It was the adventures of the twins. They lived a grand and fun life and their parents loved them a lot. He told her about keeping the world safe without all the scarey monsters in it. The stories were ones Aurora had told him as a kid. She made up all sorts of stories about their adventures.

Nox just leaned back agains the wall with his head pressed into the wall and the bunny tucked under his chin or perched on his shoulder. The little girl moved closer with each new story. Nox felt the power at the edge of his vision edging just a little bit closer.

And by the time she made her way into his lap and wrapped up with her blanket and fell asleep the power was dancing in his finger tips and the horde was gloriously silent as long as the bunny's scent was near. He whispered to the sleeping girl. "What is in your magic little bunny?"
