Elyse nodded as he spoke, making sure the bacon and eggs didn't burn. Most of them were Blackthorn kids. Seems like she and Mara were the odd ones out. And Liam was one of the oldest. Nox seemed to attract strays it seemed. Nox was an extremely dangerous person and he was going to kill her father, but deep down - he had a good heart and protected those he cared about. And those who were innocent.
But Elyse did a double take. A child - only a few days old - and on paper she was Nox's. Nox was a "father." Elyse blinked at that. "Nox - is raising a child?" she said, her voice surprised. She chuckled. "I never would have expected that."
As the food cooked, she looked at her wallet, finding the attachment for her father's file. She sent Sage a thank you and another message to Nox.
Thanks for that Nox...and again for everything. I'm going to try - but I think I'm going to feel guilty for awhile. What you're doing for these kids here - it's a good thing. I know you're busy - I'll leave you be for now. I'll send you a picture of the new ink though when I get it
She finished her and Adrian's breakfasts and separated the food out, leaving a few slices of bacon aside. She handed a plate to Adrian and he thanked her. She also noticed his sidearm. "That a Glock 48 - 9mm?" She smirked, teasing. "That's a girl gun."
"It's a good gun!" He said feigning hurt.
"It's not the size, it's how you use it right," she slapped his shoulder, jesting with him. Adrian seemed like a good guy with a good sense of humor.
She began to eat. "We have a few slices of bacon here, Liam, if you'd like some. Better hurry before Big Guy eats it though," she smirked again.
