Like most of the family -- he was comforting and even Ashton thought so -- most of the time. Sometimes he was darn right scary.
The question didn't surprise him, but Nox seemed eager to hear the answer. Though the expression on his face never changed. "Yeah. I set it down away from me and Anna and Elyse were compelled to the sound of the recording."
"Was that your intent?"
Ashton smiled. "Yeah. Why? What did you have in mind?" Ashton wondered if it was the same thing he'd been thinking. The thing that had set Elyse off in the long run had come from his next thought.
