New Players In The Pattern

[Sage]

Sage had a few hours to kill. He set out a wide network to search for Dorian again. It would at least keep his mind from the man he'd just hung up with. Maybe Nox would figure out what he wanted, and maybe not. But Sage didn't care either way. They weren't in a relationship, fuck Nox barely even knew what the fuck he wanted.

Sage still didn't find anything and when he got the text from Aiden he set out to a walk and told Aiden he'd be there when he was there. Unlike Nox Sage didn't know the streets. And Christian wasn't around to drive him so he walked and followed the gps that was in his head. How he fucking missed this. The city was his. it was dark and the streets were not empty but around the mansion Dorian lived it was almost like a ghost town. The rich were tucked in their wealthy beds and Sage was out for a good long walk.

There was a lot of anxiety running through Sage's veins. The drugs he'd been on were almost a thought, but he had what he wanted. He had several background processes going while he walked. He did'nt know the streets well so he had to pay attention not like back home in Alexandria. But this was becoming home... Thoughts of futures were always far and few between. Sage was always afraid of getting close to someone outside of the hacker world. Privacy was one thing, but his secret could get everyone else hurt - at the very least in jail.

The Red Pitts was new to Sage and he hoped that Aiden would be there. It was hard thinking this might be a date... He hadn't actually met anyone for food or drinks in a long while. There was a limo parked on the side of the road. Had to be Aiden, but Sage wasn't about to presume. He stood outside the establishment and leaned against the wall and scanned the area. The facial recognition software was still buggy and it was also off doing other things for him. Sage direly missed his server to off set some process. He'd have to talk to Dorian once they found him... Sage grabbed the license plate of the limo and was running records on it. But he'd wait for Aiden to approach him. Playing hard to get? Maybe not but he'd still wait.
