The words that came out of Elias mouth made Aria rise up from the couch. Aria saw Nox sit up out of the corner of her eyes. He had the audacity to call her a monster in her own house. Aria put her hand on the hilt of her sword as she felt a curl of air wrap around her waist, Nox standing just behind her. "Down girl, let him go."
Aria could feel the anger rising, knew that it needed an out, needed to vent. Aria turned to face Nox and found him not smiling, no goofy grin, Aria wanted to hit him. Aria threw a punch and Nox grinned at her and he caught her hand and held it. Nox's other hand was pointed at Lucas with a stop command. Aria looked to Nox and glared at him. She wanted to scream and yell but nothing came, she wasn't mad at Nox.
Aria turned and head towards her bathroom door. She called back behind her. "Nox, I would appreciate it if you went home. I will talk to you tomorrow."
Aria walked into the bathroom and turned on the water to the bathtub. The sound of the running water calmed her, soothed the ragged nerves. Aria dropped the plug in the tub and listened to the water. When she returned to the other room she found Lucas alone. Nox had slipped out. She gave Lucas a half smile. "You are welcome to stay, but I think two is a crowd when Asha returns. Can I call you tomorrow? I need to sleep, you do too."
Aria walked over to Lucas and stood before him. She focused on him and his emotions. "I'm sorry about today. About Nox. I won't go out alone like that again."
It was a promise she was willing to make, she knew that Nox was a good hunter, she'd ask him to work with her, they had secrets to keep together.
