(( I just realized this is a mess, but we'll go with it, timeline isn't very strict in this particular case. ))
Nox absently took the book from Asha with a smile. This turned out to be a very bad morning after his night with Elyse, it turned to shit quickly. Next time he stopped by he'd probably call the shop to make sure Elias wasn't around. The guy was just... Nox really didn't know how to put it.
But once gone from the presence of the annoying twit Nox's desire turned into one sole direction. The monument that now stood in place of the necropolis. Nox vaguely remembered Cain's unphased reaction and as they walked the few blocks to the Red Square Nox pulled up satellite footage of the location. "You should be suitably impressed, but you weren't, so I'll show you."
Nox handed Cain his wallet and when they stepped into the square proper with nothing marring their view except people who were staring in awe at the new structure. "Now do you see the difference?"
Nox didn't wait for Cain's reply as he waded into the crowd that was leaving and mingling and really it was a mess. If Cain decided to walk of with his wallet, that was something Nox would have to deal with, but thus far the man seemed quite complacent in staying by his side. Even with all the freakish stuff that seemed to be going down. Was that what it meant to have a friend? Aria and he weren't exactly normal so he never considered that he would make other friends - Bas and Pytor didn't count, they were like him. They were fun to hang out with, Bas in particular but the idiot got himself killed. Attacking cops in public, how stupid. Nox sighed.
He reached the monument and there seemed to be seemed to be an unspoken ring around it. No one wanted to touch it, but they wanted to stare at it, take a picture of themselves with it. But it was like they were afraid of it as well.
Nox stepped past the invisible line and touched the solid mass. He could feel the residual power still in the air. It hummed across his skin. It was intoxicating. He reached out with his own power and sent earth into the statue to explore it's construction to get a hint at what the Ascendancy had done. Nox was lost in the moment. He wished he could have been here seen the feat. Seen Ascendancy preform his weave - seen it. The power he'd felt was shattering. Nox wanted to learn from the best, but he was certain that Ascendancy would think him nothing but a bug beneath his boot...
