Marta’s mind was beginning to piece things together, and she found clarity. Right now she felt a lot closer to the Blackthorn group than she ever had. Like them, Nox had save her life. It was different. Marta hadn’t been in danger of dying - just losing herself - a fate maybe even worse than death. Marta wasn’t sure about all that - but Nox had done so and he hadn’t even tried.
”Yeah - I’m good. Better than I’ve been in a long time,” she smiled at Ara as she took a seat. ”Yeah I can play one while we wait for this precious little angel to fall asleep.” she touched Lily on the nose which elicited a giggle from both baby and the one holding her.
Marta sat down carefully. Seated she could rest Lily a little more in her lap, taking some stress off her arms. ”So much has changed for me,” Marta said to Sterling. ”Not panicking so much. I have friends - a nice big family,” she leaned in and whispered to Sterling. ”And suddenly boys are super cute - like all of them!” she smirked a bit and leaned back. ”Then Nox handed me Lily today. He trusted me. And now - for the first time since I started hearing the wolves, I feel calm. I don’t know if you know what a big deal that is, but I’m pretty sure he just saved my life. And he didn’t even try to do it. It’s…kind of amazing.”
Marta sighed as she looked at her hand. ”Got any threes? she asked Ara. ”After Lily falls asleep I think I’m gonna go say goodnight to Ricky and maybe talk to the other guy that’s up there with him and Hayden. Sounds like he’s Nox’s brother and he’s trying to decide if he’s gonna stay here and get to know Nox or leave. After that - gonna take Lily in to be with Nox - may stay there myself. Just - want to be there for him - ya know?”
