From Ashes

[Nox]

Allan seemed more childlike the more he wanted to learn. Nox knew he only cared about what was learnable and maybe protecting the Ascendancy, and with Allan present Nox hoped the Ascendancy wouldn't bring mundane's with him. It would be hard enough to keep the Ascendancy safe without having to worry about the men at his back accidentally shooting him.

The doctor took a few moments to talk with him about what he was doing. How things should work and the like. Nox listened but he'd have to have a refresher course, he was certain.

There doctor was preforming some diagnostic tests - close your hand, open, all those essential things when Allan returned with a tray of food. Probably more food than Nox could even eat in one sitting. "I didn't know what you'd like."

The tray was piled high with a lot of fatty foods -- mostly fried and all American from the looks of it. Nothing local or exotic. Nox laughed. "What no steak?"

Allan looked like he'd seen a ghost. "I..."

Nox interrupted. "I'm kidding. Just set it down I'll find something I can eat."

Allan brightened as he set the food down on an empty table "I'll see you soon."

Nox nodded. "Off to see your master." Nox joked.

The doctor patted the arm and a heads up display hologram appeared. "We've installed a basic wallet function on the arm and tracking device."

Nox laughed. "What's another following me around everywhere I go."

The doctor looked quizzically at me. "Come back in a few days and we'll check to make sure there are no sores or other issues." And then he left...

Nox hobbled off the table and picked a fry off the plate. Something on there had to be healthy.... er. Nox added. "What did you want to talk about?" Nox didn't bother looking for Morven. "I'll have to tell Sage we had the same doc. And that you are safe. He lost track of you and it drives him crazy when he loses his friends." Friend wasn't exactly the normal word, but that's what Sage called them. Nox wondered how he was doing, he'd have to send him a text.

It felt strange having a different weight on his left side. It wasn't something he could really explain. He tried to use it like he would normally and it came easily which was more shocking than not. Nox wondered what other things it might be able to do...
