Round and Round We Go
#2
Nox was a mess, the only thing keeping his sanity was the tiny baby he was totally absorbed in. He'd doubted the reasons the baby had come, but maybe it was a good idea for someone to keep his carnal and visceral desires at bay. He was pretty sure that Ryker/Ryder or whoever he wanted to be called wouldn't be that person. He'd probably send Nox down some killing spree. And then he might have to do something about Nox and his murderous rages.

Not something Sage wanted to really think about.

But Nox got a call from a dead man. The moment he heard the voice he knew and Sage's mind went straight to tracking an old friend. It was good knowing he was alive, but he shouldn't have contacted Nox if he was worried about the Atharim. Nox worked for them again -- may not be part of them, but he was working for them.

Now Nox sat on the couch eating a rare steak and not much else. He had a garden salad on the side, but it was rarely touched. The horde had changed his appetite drastically. Sage poked at whatever he'd ordered, he'd forgotten and it didn't matter anyway it was nourishment to his body and to his body he was just a vessel of surfing the web for data.

He had a lot on his plate, contacts to make which he did while he did everything else.

"You'll watch Lily for me?" Nox tapped Sage's shoulder.

Sage nodded. "Yeah, as best I can." Which was saying that she might not like him too much but he'd make sure she was clean and fed and looked after. He could manage that. He might not play with her or entertain her like Nox, but he would tend to her -- a lot like he might a puppy. Sage wasn't exactly sure why Nox wanted a kid, but he seemed happy -- much happier than he had been in the past even with the horde still raging inside.
