It's a Date

[Nox]

Nox saw Elyse before she approached - he loved the enhanced senses of the power, everything was so crisp and clear and he could see so much detail with the power. It was intoxicating. She called him cutie and he grinned back at her smile. "I guess you were right."
He wanted to kiss her but that wasn't exactly pre-hunt conduct. He was afraid to touch her even. "Gorgeous smile. Pictures don't do it justice."
He knew he was laying it on thick but it had been a good portion of their conversation the other day.

"You ready?"
He grinned playfully. "Your hunt awaits."


”Ready as ever,”
she responded with a playful smile. ”Lead the way.”


Nox couldn't stop smiling as he lead her through the narrow passage that would take them to the tunnel into the Underground. It was one of the nicer entrances, it was still dark and damp and Nox missed the tiny glowing orb as he flicked his landwarriors down over his eyes and turned on the night vision. He didn't really need it yet, but he couldn't light the way like normal so he had to rely on the tech and not his gift.

They walked in silence until they were a good way into the labyrinth of corridors that made up the first level of the underground. They were going down deeper though this time, and Nox took the quickest route he could. It wasn't like taking a bunch of stairs. You didn't even notice you were going deeper most of the time.

The HUD on Nox's landwarriors was flickering as it updated things around him. There were new markings on the walls. Ones that hadn't been there before. He ran his fingers over the deep gouges in the rock and frowned. "I think they are getting bigger."


The silence was killing him. They were walking and the only thing he could hear was her breathe. It made things difficult. He had to fill the silence. "You owe me a song."
He looked playfully back at her. "If you can sing softly and keep up at the same time."
