After take off Nox offered an ear bud to Sae and let her choose the music and he listened. Thankfully she liked the same things he did and it was all working out well. He pulled down the terrarium the moment he could stand and set to pruning some smaller branches to start from scratch. He wasn't sure when he had made up his mind, but he had and now was going to gift the pot to Raffe. He'd made it, raised the plants himself. That was an accomplishment in and of itself. But Raffe liked plants.
"What are these for?"
"Help me stay calm. Gives me something to do when I'm anxious -- like right now."
Nox trimmed a spring off each plant and wrapped them in a wet paper towel from the restroom. Perfect for starting a new plant. "Valerian, sage, sweet orange and bergomet. Helps with the nightmares too."
Nox busied himself with texting Sage asking about a home. He didn't want to go Kallisti to spend even one night -- he might never leave. But he would go back. He wondered if his job was still there. He never asked. Though did he want to be a bouncer or a dancer? Or did he want to do something different -- hunting was not a favored option.
Well that was a lie -- he had some hunting to do before he called it done. The horde would forever be his problem to fix. He didn't start it, but he was damn well inclined to end it all.
There was so much to do when he got back. Hopefully one of those things was not find a place to stay.
By the time they landed, with no incidents other than a few bumps here and there, Nox was ready to be on solid land. Sage was happily chattering away at him now that they were once again in the same timezone. It was still relatively early. Nox was drained and he was grateful that Sage had finalized everything for the new place -- fully furnished. Nothing big or fancy and just off the Red Light District. Not too far a walk from Kallisti and had a balacony with good lighting. All great things. Just what he wanted.
Hopefully Sage didn't do anything too bad to get him that place. He would expect Sage to handle everything and tell him anything he needed to know.
