Nox nodded as Connor agreed to help, he let the train take them into the red light district close to home before nodding towards the door. "This is me."
It was a short walk to the warehouse from there. The pup squirmed out of his hands and Nox held on to the leash as the little one relieved himself before he headed into the warehouse.
The place felt empty. He took a deep breath. It was going to be hard to stay here all alone. At least the little guy would help in that. Nox bent down and unlatched the leash from the collar of the puppy and it ran full terror towards the food bowl. Thing was hungry again.
Nox fed the puppy and looked at Connor. "Water, beer? I think Aurora might have wine or soda somewhere."
"Beer sounds good."
Nox grinned. It was how he felt, a beer would make the world go away. But he wasn't his father. Nox grabbed a beer and a bottle of water and popped the top on the beer with his power, he didn't actually own a bottle opener anymore.
Nox sat down his phone on the counter and handed Connor the beer. "Aurora's phone goes to voicemail. It's either off or dead. I don't delete my call list so it's all there still."
Nox unlocked the encryption on the device. "Don't let it sit too long or the encryption will change and I'll have to get back in for you. Long as the connection is active it'll still work."
That was about all the tech he knew, the rolling encryption to keep people from hacking the Atharim. It was a new security measure since the HQ servers were hacked twice in a very short period of time. Nox wondered what they'd recovered, but it really didn't matter to him.
"I'm going to go into the dojo and throw a few things to jettison some of this crap from my head. If you need me just yell."
Nox didn't really wait for an answer. He went into the dojo and grabbed the power. He could work attempt to work multiple weaves, but right now all he wanted to do was throw things. Fire was dangerous, and he wanted to break things so he just wove balls of air and water and threw them across the room to see how big of a splatter pattern he could make. As the first ball splashed against the wall the pup started barking at it. Nox threw another and the little dog chased it. Nox smiled as the pup was unable to actually catch the balls of air and water, as soon as he had one, Nox let the weave dissolve into a puddle below him. It was relaxing and much needed.
