Nox had been spending a lot of time with Aria the last few days. Aurora found it hard to believe that Nox was not trying to sleep with her. She'd caught him touching her like he was flirting with her, but he always denied it when she questioned him. He was definitely not himself with her, but that was good too. They were getting along much better. And that was a good thing.
Breakfast had been enjoyable, even with Aria in the back of the warehouse practicing whatever it was she did with her swords. It was fun to watch actually, Aurora marveled at the motions Aria made, soft and fluid, and she'd change pace, slow movements then speed up the same one. It was like a dance.
Nox hadn't watched Aria at all, he sipped at his coffe with his back to her. Nothing about their relationship was right to what she'd seen of Nox with other girls. Maybe that was good. But she was starting to feel protective of her little brother. She grinned at the though, he hated being called little brother.
She'd left in the middle of their workout. It was not nearly as fun to watch when her brother was out there. Just not the same affect. She sat in the library until it was time for the big meeting. She wasn't doing any particular research project for any reason. She was looking up things on monsters they'd dispatched back in the States, making notes that were different and things that were similar. And wondered how you'd correct something that was wrong in one of the books. Maybe it didn't matter in the long run.
Aurora thought she caught a glimpse of Nox as he slide through the crowd. His height was an advantage for seeing him, though many of the male hunters probably could crush him despite his height. Nox was just that build. She didn't worry about herself, she claimed female for years. It made the men underestimate her.
She slipped past the crowd into the former ballroom and gawked, it was her first one. Why not have a ball room in the middle of a place that was actually a mansion of some rich and famous person. But in the basement of where a secret society held its meetings. It was still a shock.
Aurora found Nox with is arm around Aria. She didn't want to really sit with her, she was still worried about the affect the girl was having on her brother. But Nox was a big boy, it was time to let him be. Aurora sat down next to Nox and took a closer look at Aria, she was pale and she practically clung to Nox's hand, but despite the grip on his hand she looked completely at ease. But something told Aurora she wasn't okay.
The place was starting to fill up now that the meeting time approached. Aurora was saddened they were so far in the back. She'd have liked to been closer. It was her nature.
