The hospital was a fucking joke. He was grateful for Jensen's healing. He was far more energetic than he'd have imagined after they let him go. It didn't help he'd wandered off, but that was worth it too.
Now he was home. And he had things he wanted to do. Things he did before anything else. Nox locked himself in his office that Sage build, And with a lot of help from his friend over the phone they accomplished everything he needed. And he would deliver it to Kallisti and drop it off at Raffe's door before he went in search of Oriena. He had to take care of that too. The horde was pulling at him, tugging at him, and if he wasn't in such an energetic mood it might be difficult to stave them off this long.
Nox searched his home for Sae and found her lying in bed, no one bothered her, a box of chocolates gone sat by her hands, but something was wrong... he jostled the girl and she didn't move. He took her pulse and sighed. "Fucking Atharim."
Nox gathered the girl and the chocolates and carried her with a weave down stairs and out the back to the garden. He looked around and decided to weave an illusion so no one saw the body sink into the earth. He whispered a prayer and left before anyone else in the house knew he was there. Or at least before they knew he was gone.
Nox stopped by Kallisti and dropped off a box with a note on top in front of Raffe's door.
And then he sent Oriena a text
Where you at? Need to see you.

Quote:Raffe,
I know I walked out. I fucked up in so many ways. But, inside contains my 'boom-box over the head' grand gesture to try and win back that second chance -- or third or fourth -- or whatever it is by now. God I hope it's only a second chance I'm asking for. I want to say everything here, show you everything inside, but you need time. But you know me, I gotta get it out or it'll eat me alive -- so here it is -- When YOU are ready to look.
There are three promises I will never break.
- I will always love you, no matter what.
- I am always here for you, no matter what.
- You are family! No Matter What.
~Always, Nox
