Nox sighed. Elias' tone was far from friendly and he didn't think it was because he was protecting Asha. And that's all Nox really wanted to do. "I didn't think about it when I saw him last. But it's not my key to ask for it back. I feel responsible for Asha, she's here because of me."
Nox continued as he removed the old knob from the door with only a minimal effort. The hard part was getting the stupid screws back in place when you can't see shit. "And I'm responsible for Dane's return. So call it guilt, whatever, but I'll protect Asha the best I can and if it means doing manual labor then so be it."
Nox didn't want a fight. He wanted to fix the door knob and go check out Ascendancy's work on his way to the son of an Atharim who was also a god like him. How much smaller can the world get?
Nox had the two halves in place and was working with the first screw. It was annoying but he was managing. He frowned as he worked. "He can't do what Aria does, but he's as messed up as she is. But he is like me in terms of ability."
He didn't want to mention Cain or Elias, it was their secrets and he wasn't going to divulge them.
Nox finished with the last screw and stood up to check the function with the second key. "I'll give this one to Aria when I see her. I'll get you a copy for an emergency."
He looked at Elias and grinned. "Or whoever."
Asha told Cain how they met, leaving out the gorey details of men with broken limbs and the power used to do it with. He was okay with that, Cain already thought he was out there - he could sense the wariness of the other man. But it was good not to trust him. He was still the enemy and if push came to shove - Nox's life mattered more. But he chuckled when Asha called them his strays. "It's the puppy eyes. I can't resist them."
Nox knew better than to take Asha by the chin and play the cute baby card like he would have anyone else. But Asha was like Aria, he'd not touch her unless asked. He grinned at her playfully. "I'll take that journal and let the two of you get back to your... "
Nox grinned wanting to say date so bad but he didn't, "your meal."
