Hayden knew Marta was blaming herself. It was written all over her body langauge. "This wasn't your fault. Nox is his own person, he did this because he wanted to. No one made him." Though it had been his own words that had forced the promise. He knew how guilt could fuel the bad mojo one felt.
But he also knew that Marta wanted him to go help Nox. He gave her a quick hug before he headed into the lounge where he found most of the people milling around not looking at Nox who sat in a chair with his head in his hands. As soon as he walked in the room most people left. Hayden walked over slowly and knelt down in front of Nox and put his hand on his knee. "I'd ask if everything was alright, but I already got the DL from Marta."
Nox raised his red rimmed eyes to meet his. "The horde is still here."
