Tantalizing

[Sage]

The vodka floated his direction. Fucking floated! Jaxen was as much of a show off as Nox was. Must be nice to be a god! Though that was just a term Nox used he didn't believe any of them were gods. Just men with power, but Sage could see how that might come to be worshipped. Sage grinned at Jaxen's confession of stolen objects, he didn't need to be told. He'd already captured their images and was searching through the known sources of information already programmed into his computer. Sage really missed his server...

But the promise of other stories pulled Sage back into reality. Information he couldn't find on the information highway was even more a premium. Jaxen was a thief. A good one from the looks of his stash. Nox said the man had broke into the Atharim head quarters - was a hunted man. Though they thought him disappeared and that was how it remained the last time Nox had access. And what Nox knew, Sage knew - at least electronically, all that Atharim Knowledge was stored on a small drive that wasn't connected to the world. Even Nox didn't know he had it. It wasn't much more than what Nox had on his wallet. Things like monsters and gods and names. Things Sage really didn't understand. But Nox knew he had the information just not that he had a copy of it for safe keeping. Once he had his server up and running it would all be safe behind firewall after firewall and full time monitoring by his own code and himself. Soon... Sage kept thinking to himself.

Sage didn't bother pressing the matter any about this divulgence of information instead he waited for Aiden to return. The warmth had subsided even with the vodka he was sipping - not his favorite drink but he wasn't about to piss off his gracious host.
