Elyse left the safe house with Hayden, and she was almost certain one of Sage's drones was following them. That could have just been her paranoia at work though. Elyse stopped as she got to the edge of Nox's perimeter. She had only left once since this started - and it was to get her tattoo. Now going out was dangerous. Elyse looked at the drone, sure Sage was watching and took the first step beyond the perimeter. This was the beginning.
They were a block away from Artskaf and no one was around when Elyse put the earpiece in. It looked just like a Bluetooth device that any person would wear. "Alright, Wicked can you hear me?" Sage would be listening and guessed that it might be sent to Nox too. She really didn't know, but she wanted the comms check in case she needed to extract herself from the situation.
Her wallet beeped and she checked it to see message from Sage. Always.
She rolled her eyes and ignored the creepiness of the statement. "I'll assume you can hear me if Wicked can," she said, not expecting a reply from Nox. She noticed Hayden had a device too and was probably connected as well.
They entered the cafe and Elyse went to the register to order. She needed to look natural and wasn't worried at all about Hayden. "A caramel macchiato and a cheese danish for me," she allowed Hayden to order what he wanted and paid before taking a seat at a table. There was artwork all around, although she really liked the painting of a woman with golden eyes. The artwork reminded her of Nox's tattoo. He had sent her a picture when she had sent her a picture of his.
She turned to Hayden with a smile "So what are you up to today?" she asked, turning to light coffee house conversation. She was going to look like everything was completely normal.
