He heard the footsteps before he saw the woman walk into the living space. She was cute and with golden eyes. He gave her props for that. It said she felt comfortable in her skin at the very least, so it was something else that needed addressing.
She didn't look like she wanted to be there. This was her home. She needed to feel comfortable. "I am. Nox wanted me to come talk with you. I'm not a therapist -- not really. So this is just two people talking. I actually am a damn fine bartender. I do not cook like Nox, but I figured you still needed to eat, and I can make breakfast. It's a bit too early to be drinking." He said as he placed the bacon, eggs, sausages, tomato and mushroom on the counter. He'd have to look in the cabinets for some beans. Nox surely had some?
"Why don't you sit down. Would you like something to drink. Coffee? Orange Juice?" He didn't really wait for her sit or answer. He just wanted to make her feel comfortable so he kept talking about himself. "I know you probably think it looks strange that I'm making myself at home in Nox's kitchen. We haven't known each other long, and actually we hadn't spoken in a couple months till the other night when his house party turned into an orgie on his arrival. I remember the day he walked into my bar. Just another dumb Atharim kid looking to kill his mark and be on his way. Except that's not Nox. Took him a week to finish the job and we talked a lot during that time. How'd you meet him?" Hayden didn't really care, he actually already knew that this was Nox's ex-girlfriend. The name came up a few times in their converations. But this wasn't about Nox, it was about making her feel comfortable to talk.
