Jay spun and everything thing that happened in those few moments made Nox stop and stare. The power flooded Jay, which wasn't too surprising, but the amount and the precision that he had made Nox blink. And then the familiar weave to slice his had happened and his whispered word Nox was unsure if it had landed its destination.
Nox stood staring, not only had Jay gotten himself a handsome new uniform... Nox was sure a shallow blush formed at the memories but he quickly pushed it away as Jay spoke of drinks and sneaking up on him. Jay had found his power, and he'd found skill within it. How long had it really been since he'd seen Jay? Fuck, Nox didn't even really know how long he was out of it.
Nox gave Jay a smile and pointed in the direction he thought Cruz had gone. "I think there is a bar in that direction. I'm sure they have something stronger than what's on rotation. I can't see any Russian party not having vodka."
Nox turned and took a step in that direction hoping Jay would follow. "I don't like these things. Babysitting Cruz for a missing Dorian. I'd say let me buy you a drink but I don't think I could afford any here, and I think they are all free anyway. I have to thank you for saving me. And your friends too - especially the one who healed me. I was pretty sure I was dead back there."
They hadn't gotten far before Ascendancy's power flared and there was a speech and a show and the man himself started to mingle. Well fuck! Nox dropped the power. The world grew dim, the color less vibrant and the noise a soft din into comparison as to what he'd been listening to prior. "Sorry, I didn't mean to cause any problems."
He told Jay. Not that Ascendancy would listen to him. He was pretty sure three strikes and your out and didn't mean you sat the bench in this case. Nox sighed. "Power is kinda of a go-to thing for me. My comfort in a place as powerful as this, I needed my own kinda power I guess."
Nox pulled at the sleeves of his tux again and ran his fingers through his hair. The power had made him more confident in this monkey suit. Or maybe it was Jay... either way it was annoying feeling out of his element.
