Chasing Emotions

[Nox]

Nox chuckled. "You have no idea the half of it." He didn't want to tell Jared he'd been hunting with the Ascendancy down in these tunnels. Fought side by side with the most powerful man on the planet -- no that would be bragging, and there really was no point to it. So it stayed with Nox, but Sage was hardly powerful in light of things, he was a hacker who thought he was outside the law -- a perfect friend for an Atharim hunter.

"Sleep. She'll want him most likely. Fight to keep get to him, you'll need to help rewire her brain. Keep her busy, don't let her be alone. She will try to escape." Nox had never actually seen a sentient attack before. And Aria didn't really know much more than he did about it. But he'd heard stories of survivors, there were lots of stories of different survivors of different attacks. Sometimes the worst were the ones who wanted their attackers. Sometimes even Roug survivors loved their captors. Nox was grateful that the kids weren't like that. Though he imagined Victoria was -- she was one of them was family. He should make a point of finding her and checking on her.

"I'm sorry to hear that she and Cruz are no more. Sage says Cruz has been a bit of a mess lately so not surprising they ended it. But maybe they need to talk, now that they are both on the mend. Sage says Cruz has been doing a bit better. The talking might help her too, remember what real love is like and not the false shit he likely implanted. It's going to be rough." Nox said as he turned down a passage that lead up to the street. They were almost home. Home to the mad house and other people in it. He wasn't looking forward to entertaining.
