Another Emergency

[Sage]

Before Dr. Kinnard could agree with his assessment of the situation the annoying nurse from before opened the door with a frown as she stepped inside and closed the door. She looked to the doctor first and then to Sage. "There is a young man to see you Mr. Parker. I called your friend, might it be him? Would you like me to show him in? If you are done, Doctor?"

Sage grinned at the flustered nurse. She wasn't sure what was going on and Sage was aware of that fact even as inept at reading people as he was. "He can come in. The doctor and I were just discussing the treatment, Nox might as well know what he's getting himself into."


The nurse sighed but nodded and headed out the door to fetch Aurora's annoying little brother. She wasn't gone long before a rather tall man followed her inside. Sage had seen Nox on the camera of his wallet, but seeing him in person for the first time was new. Perception from the digital world didn't always translate well to the real world when Sage was receiving the images directly into his brain instead of through the lenses of his eye. Nox's hair was a mess - like he'd been running his long fingers through his hair nervously - anxious probably because Sage was in the hospital. Sage could only smile to reassure his friend. He couldn't say he'd be alright - things were far from alright.

"Aurora's annoying little brother, isn't so little anymore, probably just as annoying though."
Sage joked at Nox. He hoped it hadn't been too obvious that he'd been checking him out since the moment he walked into the door. Sage pushed those thoughts to the side once he realized he was having them. There was no need to make things awkward - at least not yet.
