Convergence

[Nox]

Nox growled. The little girl was blackmailing him. Nox looked over at Raffe. "Her father sent me a scathing message about contacting her again." Nox would have pulled out his wallet and shown Raffe the message, but his hands were full and he wasn't about to let go of Raffe's hand, and the other arm was precariously balancing the lotus plant on his arm with a weave of air. "She shouldn't be here." Nox didn't want to say he could get charged with kidnapping out loud. He didn't want to put the thought in someone else's head that something was a miss her.

This was a cousin he knew nothing about. He knew her name, and how old she was and that was about it. I sighed. "How about I promise to have lunch with you when I'm feeling better. But you have to tell your parents. They should come too." The little girl looked up at him with a frown. Nox was fairly certain she didn't like that idea at all. Nox groaned and looked over to Raffe pleading with his eyes. Why? This girl was going to put him in jail. He was no good with family and he certainly wasn't very good with kids. Especially little girls who disobeyed their parents. Though she sounded very much like him. He had never listened to his father either. It sorta ruined his life. Nox sighed. "I didn't listen to my father either as a kid. He punished me pretty harshly for it. So much so that I pushed away part of me that I'm only now just finding. I get that you don't want to listen to him, but he's your father, he only trying to raise you in the best way he knows how." Nox sighed inside. He hated his father as much as he loved him. And he regretted many things, but never that his father taught him what he did. He'd been hard and harsh and had beaten him for things that Nox couldn't exactly control. But he had been a good man and a great hunter. Nox was lost in his head. The memories flooding and flashing before his eyes. His only anchor to reality was the hand he gripped tightly in his only hand.
