Sometimes Mae forgot that Elyse was just as dangerous as Nox was. She was sweet and innocent compared to him. But from what she knew they'd met on the job. That says alot about both of them, and she knew it was a rocky road to being friends again, but they were. And the fact that Elyse was going to stay with Nox, though he wasn't there right now was probably a good thing they were friends.
Mae took the water and they all helped finish up and get the truck loaded. Nox lived in the red light district, two doors down from the club. It was literal walking distance for them while they stayed there. Nox's permiter spanned a block or so around and he knew who cross the line, and had cameras everywhere. That's what being best friends with an elite hacker got you. And a house, and a computer, and a wallet. Sage had so many schemes going under Nox's name, Mae wasn't sure Nox even know the half of it. She'd only sussed out the situation because of the way the hacker always felt, he wasn't greedy like most men, but he was high on something all the time, but alert in his mind even if his body was not. He was an odd duck.
It wasn't long before they were unloading Elyse's things into Nox's foyer. "You can leave anything you don't want to carry up flights of stairs down here, we can get the storage unit tomorrow and take it then, no point lugging it up and then lugging it down. We can make sure to lock the doors tonight so that no one takes your stuff."
A voice echoed in the foyer "Welcome, Elyse, My name is Sky, Sage has informed me of your stay. You can leave your belongings in the elevator that you wish to store elsewhere later." The doors to the elevator dinged open and Mae just stared at the open doors and searching for the disembodied voice. "There are two vacant rooms on the third floor, feel free to choose whichever one you'd like. It will be a shared bathroom with Miss Mara. If there is anything you need please don't hesitate to ask."
Mae laughed. "Nox must hate your formality."
"He has not been here long enough to get to know me." Sky said in response.
Which surprised Mae, it felt odd talking to something that wasn't living.
