Tantalizing

[Sage]

Sage wasn't surprised by the words, but the venom spoken make him shy back. Though he didn't move physically. The playful banter was gone, there was nothing but the truth riding on his lips. And it only made Sage want to do what he said more. But this was a friend of Nox's and Sage had yet to meet someone Nox had that was not a threat in some way. Even Dorian was scary in his own right - specially when he got angry at you.

Jaxen was a hacker, a thief but more importantly he was like Nox and Aiden. Not someone Sage wanted to mess with. "I wouldn't dream of it, professional courtesy and all." And he was mostly right in that. He hadn't dreamt of it, there was no reason to hack another hackers system unless Sage thought he had information he wanted, but he was pretty sure Jaxen Marveet held very little information that Sage would find valuable. "Why hack you, when I can just ask what you are hiding?' Sage grinned at him. It was faked, but he was trying not to come off as scared as he could be. Aiden wasn't going to protect him in this. Aiden couldn't even control his own gift well enough to keep himself from producing fireballs above his head, though the tell-tale sign was endearing to Sage.

Sage turned back to the collection on the wall and continued his scans and his information gathering. Honestly he was surprised at being let into such a place, if Jaxen were truly worried he would have thought better than bringing him in, Sage had already proven his ease at getting into systems with a thought. Or had the man forgotten. This was all the information Sage needed, he smiled to himself. It was a good thing he wasn't malicious.
