Seeking Refuge

[Marta]

Marta hadn’t even told Sage what she wanted to do yet. But she wanted to build her own computer. It seemed like a fun project and she was sure that she could build something better than she could buy. She didn’t know how much Sage monitored what she did. Perhaps he knew she was looking at parts. She didn’t know. She had gone to ask Hayden if she could help with anything and was a little disappointed that he had nothing. She didn’t want anything free. She was more than willing to work. The rules were stupid. She couldn’t help because it was a bar? That was dumb. She didn’t want to drink the alcohol anyways.

Still she had been polite and kind. She noticed Nox came in with a man and he embraced the woman who had been sitting with Hayden. The scent between the two was strong. Love. True love. She knew that woman and that man would go to hell and back for each other and more without a thought.

She would have asked Nox, but he was busy. Him and Hayden exchanged words and she saw the way that Nox’s hand touched Hayden and moved to his face. She had known they were lovers. It really didn’t bother her to see, but it was Nox’s scent. It changed slightly. Marta smiled at that. She had to tell Wicked.

Hey Wicked. Gonna build my own computer. Might want some help on that. Finished my assignment. Will send it to you when I get back. But something more important. Nox’s scent changed. Just a little bit. He’s feeling something! :-D
