Marta went with Jackson upstairs hand in hand. His reassuring squeeze was appreciated even if it was unnecessary. She knew she hadn’t done anything to necessitate it. Jackson went to one side of Nox and Marta went to the other, putting Nox between them. Marta didn’t even look at the strange things that Sky was projecting. Marta knew Nox wasn’t okay. She had an idea why - his power was gone. Splash sat down on the floor next to Marta, and she patted the wolf with one hand and placed the other in Nox’s shoulder reassuringly as Jackson asked if he was okay.
Marta looked at him, holding Lily there. She was adorable, and it proved that Nox truly had a heart. The thing with people who had hearts - they were the ones who could truly feel the pain of loss, and they were usually the ones who didn’t deserve it. Marta knew Nox was a powerful and dangerous man. He had probably done bad things, but he had ultimately just tried to protect others. This house full of kids was a part of it. He knew someone he was helping Elyse too - and apparently they had some sort of romantic history too. Even she had been accepted into his ever growing family. She didn’t know why, but she appreciated it all the same. The biggest thing was - he didn’t deserve to feel the way he did. He deserved to be happy.
”We’re here for you,” she said in support of Jackson’s question, and if that’s all she could do for this man - well - that’s what she would do.
