Home Sweet Home

[Nox]

The anger deflated when Aria told him what had happened. He'd have to have a talk with Aurora about that later, but it didn't matter right now and apparently wouldn't matter for a while.

Siberia? What the hell was in Siberia, the abominable snow man? She mentioned a monastery, that could mean only one thing - Ascendancy. Aria was checking out her leads on finding something that could help her or hinder her in her attempt on Ascendancy's life. Nox was pretty sure she was not really wanting to kill the most powerful man on the planet, much less get caught failing doing so or even attempting to take his life. So she stalled, but now Borovsky had uses for her, he'd interrogated her for a week or more, but she didn't seem to well off. No extra cuts and bruises, at least none that weren't from his sister.

But the food set down in front of him made him forget all his other worries. He took a bite and his stomach rumbled for more, he was a lot hungrier than he thought he had been. "You don't have to ask, I can't say I'm thrilled with the idea of flying, but at least you've thought it through."
He was pretty sure with Lucas to balance Aria out they'd make it through the short flight.

Aria sat down across from him and started eating her own after she'd put tin foil over the rest to keep it warm. He grinned at her. "Lucas still around?"
He expected Aria to blush but she only nodded and indicated he was still sleeping in her room. He grinned at her between forkfuls. "So you liked it then?"


She looked up at him with a grin. "Yes, thank you. I didn't quite make it to the bathroom on show-n-tell night, but I've a feeling I'll love it."


Nox laughed, she was far from modest that was for sure. He'd have to get used to that he supposed. "I ran into Connor and his fiance."
Aria looked up at him with a questioning look. Nox grinned. "He held me at gun point and threatened me because I was Atharim."


Aria didn't looked surprised as she looked down at her plate. "I have his number and I gave him yours. His girl is like me and Aurora. She's on the list."


Aria did look up at him with surprise then. "And I suppose you put your name down to hunt her."


Nox nodded. He pulled out his wallet and flipped to her file. "Yeah and that's not the only strange thing I found."


Aria flipped through the files and smiled. "That is interesting."
But that was all she said on the matter. He would have to interrogate her later on that.

Nox cleaned the last of his plate. "I expect more of this if you are living here."
Aria laughed and smiled at him. "I'm gonna shower and get last nights events off of me before I take a nap."
She smiled knowingly at him and he blushed, damn girl and her knowing what he's talking about and feeling. He shook his head and went to his room. It was a mess still but it was home, and for that he was happy, he'd deal with his sister later.
