'Ware the White Rabbit

[Nox]

The plane was just as traumatic for both Nox and Lily as the weave of power kept Lily from being heard by others. Nox unfortunately had a window seat and all his fucking fears played out in his head. On top of Lily's disturbance. She must have a head cold. Which was just what Nox needed right then.

The meal came and they ate in almost silence before the plan jumped several feet with turbulence and Nox almost lost his food. Lily's tears were real. And it was a horrible flight.

16 hours later they were on the ground in Moscow and Nox couldn't be happier. His nerves were fried, he was starving. The fucking horde was pounded at his brain. He needed to do something about it.

Sage made sure Nox had a ride home, but they took separate cars. Sage missed Aiden and he knew Nox would be looking for something more and he didn't want to be around.

Nox had the car stop at his favorite diner instead of going home. They needed some time to cool before wading into the children at the house. No telling what mayhem was going on.

Nox texted Hayden.

Landed. Eating. Probably need a drink or a good fuck. How's my house?

Hayden didn't respond back and Nox didn't really care one way or the other. Sky spit out a message.

House is quiet. No one is here. Safe.

Thank the fucking gods.

Nox ate his nearly alive steak and took a second one for the road. He needed to sleep. Needed to 'talk' to Oriena. And he needed to fuck something up. And it really didn't matter the order.
