Another Emergency

[Nox]

A woman stopped in front of Sage's hospital room door and glanced at Nox. There were bags under her eyes and she didn't look like she wanted to be there. She frowned at him, "You here to see Mr. Parker?"

I nodded. "No, I'm sitting her for my own health."
Of course he was waiting for Sage. Nox knew that the hacker was here for medical purposes, but that was about the extent of the knowledge he had for him to wind up in the hospital moments after landing was not a good sign. Nox hoped it wasn't the sickness - that was the last thing either of them needed.

The frown on the nurse deepened as she went into the room and shut the door behind her. Nox could have embraced the power to listen, but really he didn't care that much he'd find out soon enough what was going on.

Grumpy nurse wasn't gone long before she opened the door and waved him inside. Sage was lying in a bed looking rather rumpled. There were the bags under his eyes like the nurse - he at least had an excuse. A pretty doctor stood next to his bed who looked tired and Nox smiled at her but Sage drew his attention back to him before Nox could introduce himself. "Aurora's annoying little brother, isn't so little anymore, probably just as annoying though."


Nox rolled his eyes. "I think younger brother is more accurate, it has been a long time since I was smaller than Aurora. But you are probably right, still probably annoying, maybe more."
Nox had the resonating urge to stick his tongue out like a child, but he didn't he just grinned playfully instead. "You've looked better. I'm sorry I was late. It was hard getting away from my project. Is this your permanent home while you stay in Moscow?"
