Consequences

[Nox]

Nox watched Sage walk away. He was about to stop him when Elyse spoke up citing the same thing he would have. This was not a time to be alone - Sage was volatile it could lead to self-destruction. Things that he knew all too well - his father drank himself to death in his self-destruction. Nox found other pleasure to take his mind off of things. Sage didn't have his normal means of venting - he had to find something else to do and Elyse was right - just moving would help - even if only a little.

Nox smiled at Elyse and put his arm around her shoulders and hugged her to his side in a quick gesture of appreciation and acceptance. He was sad her family hadn't accepted her. But he could understand. He was beginning to think Dorian was not made of the same typical Atharim cloth. "You know my story, Sage. I don't have to tell you the shit storm I've gone through. In light of the losses we've all suffered, we are still here - alive and kicking - stay and join a game. If you don't feel better after 30 minutes, we'll go upstairs and play one of your shoot everything games I suck at."
Nox mumbled to himself, "Despite the fact I can hit an oni with a crossbow at 9 paces dead in the eye."


Nox wove a net of air and captured one of the smaller balls he'd made earlier and lifted it with the air and held it out in front of him hanging in mid air should Sage choose to accept the challenge.
