Astral Dreams

[Nox]

Nox smirked at her comments. He found it oddly comforting she cared so deeply for her employees - specially in an establishment like that, but then again it shouldn't surprise him. The places his father had taken him as a boy, the girls were always well looked after. Was just a girl on the street necessarily - his father had standards. The memory made Nox sneer though he didn't like the memories he wished he could have left them forgotten.

"It's not always a picnic, that's for sure." Nox said as he lead the way back to Thalia. A little sparrow. Now he wasn't sure if he wanted to share the thought, but the small bird did have a small resemblance to how Thalia acted. Nox pulled a few credits out of his pocket and placed it on the bar in front of Thalia. "Whatever they want on me." I said to the bar tender who was there in front of them at the promise of the cold hard cash instead of the electronic means most people used. Nox didn't like to use it, he'd been trained not to leave a trail behind him in paper or foot prints. He was doing a lousy job of that recently, but it was time to pick up those old habits again.

Nox turned and looked out into the crowd beyond the bar and leaned against it while they waited for the drinks. He'd gone with his standard beer in a bottle. Though he'd refrain from popping the top, he'd done enough showing off with the power. Though with it still in his grasp he played the lights around the whole bar this time. It was amusing seeing the gasp from some and the complete ignoring from the rest of them. Nox shouted over the music. "Thalia, Carmen. Carmen, Thalia." He smiled at the red head. "I'm Nox." Hopefully that would keep her from calling him kid again. That was one thing that was surely to set him off a dark path with darker memories.
