There were emotions so many coming from Dane and then slipped into the calmness that was the reason she saught him. Why she craved him. Aria started to relax when he went back on his prior words. But confusion set in as he finally finished with his plan for Nox...
Surely she was mistaken - why on god's green earth would Dane want to kill Nox. Not that it wasn't nearly impossible. Nox was a reborn god - far more dangerous than Dane. But there was a feeling if she voiced that thought - she knew Dane could and would likely turn that anger upon her. His nails were already digging into the backs of her hands as he eager awaited her response to killing her best friend - and for what?
Aria didn't want Nox dead. But the desire to please Dane overrode near everything else, but Aria had hope in Dane - maybe he'd like Nox too much to kill. She knew it was unlikely but she had to try.
Aria's voice was quiet. "It won't be easy. He doesn't trust us together. He knows what we are capable of."
Aria's smile grew dark with the recollection of the influence Dane had on her. It was like fighting two sides of the same coin - never wanting it to land on either side - fighting to walk the edge constantly. A fine line between good and evil - the gray area. "And unless you know of a way to shield his power or keep him from touching it, we'll be dead in an instant. The moment he knows we are dead."
Aria was certain of Nox's capabilities.
Aria's smile darkened. "Nox might be willing to help you find a solution to our problem."
Her grin grew wider. "Under the pretense of fighting others like you. He loves to experiment."
Aria laughed inside - the darkness swallowing the small beacon of light - to pit her two men against one another - to watch them fight. It could be glorious.
