The plane ride was hell on wings. Nox was fried, he needed a drink. He almost got one at the airport when they landed, but Aria and Lucas didn't drink so he'd hold off on that thought while with them. But as soon as he got to the hotel he promised himself.
Being on solid ground was like heaven on earth. He almost knelt down and kissed the ground, that was how happy he felt for being earth bound again. If it weren't for the fact that they had already purchased plane tickets Nox would have taken a different way home, damn Borovsky in the process. But the money was spent and no refunds meant that the Atharim wouldn't reimburse them if they didn't use them. And while money was good, money was also not to be frivolously spent.
The hotel was nice, had a certain rustic charm to it. Not too expensive and definitely not cheap. It was a great mixture of both. Aria checked them all in, and handed Nox a key and had his bags sent up. She smiled at him reassuringly that all was well and he was off to the bar.
It was a quaint little joint, decked out in all the rustic nature you'd expect an outdoorsy place to be. Fucking animal heads on the walls everywhere, those things were creepy. But Nox mostly ignored the glass eyes that peeked down at him from their high perches on the wall. Another thing that he didn't quite understand, thankfully it didn't send him into another panic attack.
The bar was quiet at this time of the day, most of the guests out on the slopes or doing other such touristy things. Nox sat two seats down from a hot blonde. He grinned at her before he ordered a beer from the keep. He turned in his seat and put his back against the bar and stretched out, being 6 foot had some advantages and some disadvantages, he hated bar stools.
The bartender sat his beer bottle on the napkin opened. Before it could even leave a ring of condensation on the napkin Nox had it in his hand and was sipping at it. It was nice and cold, and pretty near perfect for the day he was having. Hopefully this was a sign things were looking up now that he was on the ground.
