Helping Hands

[Nox]

Aria and Ashavari exchanged words as Nox filled three sparkling clean glasses with water. It looked like these few glases had never been used. He grinned to himself, Aria was a loner and here he had brought two additional people into her circle of comfort. Whoops. He'd have to remember better next time. Not that he ran into damsel's in distress often. He wasn't in the habit of being hero. At least not if it meant it was against another person. He preferred monsters, he could kill a monster without prejudice.

Elias looked weary too, Lucas didn't look too great himself. Seemed everyone needed a good nights rest. And yet it's still early. He grinned to himself as he handed Ashavari a glass of water. He deliver Elias a glass next. Lucas already had a glass, though his glass looked slightly more used. Probably the only one Aria ever used. Poor kid.

Nox finished with his servant like duties stood before Aria's bed and looked at the penciled drawing she'd hung over it. It was exactly her tattoo. She must treasure it. The only other thing on her wall was an empty sheath for a sword, and an identical gun that sat at her back hung next to it. Her place was dismal. His wasn't much better, he'd never stayed in one place long enough to en mass things. Though that was going to change. Nox wanted paintings on the wall. He wanted pictures of his Mom and Dad and Aurora to float around on the walls and call them home. He wanted flowers and curtains that were clean and wouldn't stand by themselves if you took them off the rods. He wanted what most would say was simplicity in a house, but to him, it was posh. He wanted a home to call his own. He looked around at Aria's abode and decided she needed one too. A family, everyone needed family. He only had his sister left, and that was strangled.

Nox turned to Lucas and smiled. The man was special to Aria, and Aria was family. He liked that. Liked it very much. "So Lucas, what is it that you do?"
He tried not to sound too much like an over protective brother and he was thankful for the power he held, it kept Aria from prying into his head. He'd have to get used to that he supposed. He glanced over at Elias too. "You too, Elias, what do you do?"
Nox grinned they'd never believe what he did, what Aria did, but he would gladly share with these strange and monstrous folks. They deserved to know what lurked around the corners.
