Nox's arm wasn't forceful he just held out his arm to stop him. The man with him left and didn't say a word to him. Ashton had seen him around the house talking to Nox and the kids. He'd been there that night Jaxen had cornered him too. Though he'd snuck off somewhere before the night got exciting. He had been there the next morning though.
Nox didn't look right. His fake arm didn't feel the same either. He had gotten a new one and this was the first time he'd put it on it seemed. Ashton looked at Nox who tried to urge him back into the warmth of Kallisti.
"I can't go back in there right now."
Nox nodded and turned on his heel. "Let's go have a coffee then."
Ashton shrugged and followed Nox through the streets. Though Nox tried to slow and let him catch up but he always slowed to stay a step behind.
Nox stopped and rolled his eyes. "You aren't my peon or slave or lesser. You either walk with me or we just end this now."
Ashton turned around before Nox grabbed his arm. "Okay. Not the words to use to someone who's gonna take them literally." He didn't seem angry or sad or happy or concerned. He didn't seem anything.
"Just walk at my side. Please." Nox added though there was no added warmth. "I need to talk with you and I don't want to do it out in the fucking cold."
Ashton sighed and nodded. He didn't follow Nox, but the other man lead on in silence. He wasn't happy nor sad or even boastful he'd gotten his way. He just walked in silence.
