Choices

[Nox]

Laughter broke the silence. Nox looked at the other man with confusion. It wasn't humor and it was not sarcasm that came from that laugh, it was almost insanity. Nox was glad he had stopped fighting however. He wasn't sure his body was going to like him after what little physical abuse he'd just withstood. He'd have to hit the gym and get back in shape, it seemed physical therapy wasn't just about them causing pain, maybe it would help. But Nox wasn't about to go back to the hospital, he'd spent enough time there and no matter how many pretty nurses tried to make him, he wasn't going back.

Giovanni handed him a beer, Nox too it cautiously, he was not sure of the state of this one's mind. Clinking the bottles in good ol' pal no harm done Nox only returned the gesture, but it was a beer it was unscathed by their impromptu battle. Nox took a long swig of the beer before he nodded. It really hadn't been fun. His body ached, his head hurt, he could feel the bones in his body complaining. Every bruise he'd had from the plane seemed to radiate the pain again. The power inside him raged, Nox reluctantly dropped it, the pain ebbed and he felt relatively normal. Still his body ached, but hopefully a hot shower would do him good.

Nox grinned. "Thanks.
He glanced at the woman standing against the wall. "I'll let you get back to your game. I got to go see about a girl."
Nox grinned. The girl in his memory, just a silhouette, but she called to him. He looked back at the woman and spoke loudly. "A pleasure Duckling. Do enjoy the companies of the victor."
He grinned. He knew he would upset her, but he had no intentions of sticking around. With a nod of the head and a wave of a fake hat, Nox bid them adieu in classic John Wayne style, swagger and all.
