From Ashes

[Nox]

Nox laughed though it wasn't funny. "Sage is use to that treatment. His parents were the ones who did it to him to begin with -- all in the name of science. They wanted to dissect him too. Which is why he eventually turned them in." It wasn't the only reason. But Nox remembered Aurora in tears the day she found out he had horrible parents. Not that their parents were much better, but they were never bad with Aurora -- at least Dad never was. Nox tried not to growl.

But he was grateful for the change of subject. "Weird. Compesation is going to have to be worked through. I could probably do a one armed pull up with the new arm based on grip alone, but I'd be afraid of too much weight on the straps. But there was little effort with two hands." Granted he could easily do a pull up before this all. Though he hadn't really worked out to the extent he had before. Mostly out of fear of opening up the wound again. He turned to smile at her "I imagine it's going to take a little to get use to working with it. It's heavier than my arm, not much, but enough that I feel my balance shifted. Dancing and fighting are going to be new."
