Consequences

[Nox]

Elyse was calling her parents. Cruz was studying that really left Nox with just Sage to hang out with and they had very little in common. But Sage like Nox didn't quite like the lounge or the study and tended to follow him or Cruz to more normal settings. He carried that laptop like it was his lifeline, but what little Nox knew of the hacker it probably was. They hadn't really discussed what happened or why he was here, but Nox was more than okay with being followed around. It at least insured he had company and without Aurora around it was welcome. Sage wasn't needy which Nox liked.

Nox did what he always did when he was bored - he played with the power or shadow boxed or ran or whatever physical thing he could think of. Unlike Sage and Cruz he didn't like sitting around watching TV or playing video games, though they both had dragged him along for a game or two the past few days. He couldn't say he didn't have a good time hanging out but it wasn't something he'd seek out on his own.

While Nox moved from form to form in the fight in his head Sage sat at the top of the stairs - the first fireball had sent the skittish hacker climbing for a higher ground which made Nox laugh.

Nox heard Sage's wallet ring and overheard the conversation. It was quiet and in hushed tones, but Sage wasn't very far away and his hearing was power enhanced. It was a one way conversation so it was taken out of context though a few key phrases stuck out 'excitingly ignoring me' and 'I like the view'.

That was when Nox stopped his workout and stood at the bottom of the stairs with a ball of earth and air waiting for Sage to finish his conversation and he clearly heard his comment about the mansion before hanging up with a smirk. Nox chuckled to himself as he looked up the stairs at the hacker. "You are going to make her think I'm some sort of sugar daddy or something. When it's not me."
Nox tossed the tied off ball of air and earth up the stairs at Sage - he made sure it was off to the side so if by chance the hanker sucked at catch his precious laptop would be spared. "Catch."
Nox grinned as it bounced off the stair behind Sage as he dodged out of the way tugging his laptop with him with ease. "Put that thing away and come help me. You sit there too much. You ever play dodge ball in gym class?"
Nox never had but he'd played dodge ball with his sister - after they learned they could use the power of the gods it had become a favorite game.
