What Not to Do (Kallisti)

[Oriena]

Well wasn’t he a weird little fucker. Somehow his association with Nox came as no great surprise, and Ori only laughed. Though there was deliberation too, while she decided what he meant and whether he intended it as a threat. The flex of whatever power he possessed momentarily drew her eyes to the flickering lights. He had no idea how close her foot came to exacting an uncomfortable pressure. But in the end she let it go.

When Nox rested behind her chair she leaned into the whisper, though her attention didn’t break away from Sage. Nox gave the warning to her about him; but maybe he should have been giving it to Sage about her.

“What makes you think I have deep dark secrets?” Her lips hitched a deeply wicked smile.
