Marta took the lead and Hayden smiled happily that she was putting herself out there. He took the tablet and flipped through the images and was impressed. "These are very good."
He looked around at all the rest of the kids. "I want to give you all some homework for when we meet next week." They all groaned. "It's not hard and you have a week to do it. I want you to do something you have always wanted to do, but never thought you could do it. And it can't be anything related to what brought you to Nox's place. So for most of you that's it can't be dancing, or seducing or selling yourself. This is personal and for you only. I just want you to do it and I'll trust you if you say you did it but you don't want to talk about it. I have two requests. One is for Liam and the other is for Marta, since you two have an idea of what you want to do."
He smiled at them and started with Liam first. "Liam I'd like you to spend one day doing absolutely no school work. I want you to find something fun and relaxing to do."
Liam groaned by nodded. "A whole day? Can it wait till...."
Liam didn't finish his sentence but Hayden understood he wanted to wait until Nox was back in town. The boy was infatuated with him, but Nox also had a lot of coping mechanisms he could work with. Following Nox around might not be bad. Hayden nodded. "Yeah, he shouldn't be gone too much longer."
Hayden looked to Marta. "Marta, I want you to create an original character, nothing you've done so far and make me a 3 or 4 panel comic of them doing something. It could be petting a dog or cat for all it matters, but this will give you the opportunity to draw a character from different positions. Tell me a little story. If you need ideas I'm sure we can all brain storm something that you'd like."
Hayden looked to the rest of them "The rest of you one thing that you've always wanted to do, but never had. And if you need resources just ask and I'll get Nox's card to get what you need, with in reason of course. He's not some mega millionaire." At leat he wasn't to Hayden's knowledge. But who knew, he had alot more money that Hayden expected for a kid who lived out of two bags.
