Elyse smiled, the scent of the chicken and sauce mingling together almost erasing the horrible stench of the underground city. Nox handed her a glass of wine, and that sort of surprised her. Nox didn’t seem like a wine guy. She’d likely offer him a beer later. She took a sip and it was a fine white wine.
When dinner was done, Nox handed her a plate and she took a seat at her table, Nox followed along and they clinked glasses together before settling down to eat. Elyse took a bite of chicken first. ”This is very good,”
she said taking another bite.
Elyse didn’t want things to remain quiet. Awkward silence was bad, and she had smelled the changing emotions that Nox was going through. He was likely nervous and she remembered that he might have troubles connecting with people. Nox seemed to like her, and that probably scared him. She didn’t want to scare him, and conversation might help him relax a little.
”It’s nice not having to hide them - my eyes that is.”
she said. ”It’s like I don’t have to wear a mask anymore.”
She took a bite of vegetable and ate before continuing. ”How does it feel? Using your power?”
It was genuine curiosity.
