Nox evidently felt that Aria and Asha's conversation was not his concern. He set about following Aria's 'orders' casually. Despite himself, Lucas smiled at that. It seemed that nothing put him off for long.
Elias just stood there watching, his only nod to the situation being leaning on the counter. Lucas shrugged as Nox got the drinks, clearly looking around at Aria's home. It was pretty spare. Simple. Not much in the way of homeyness. Though the picture he drew hung above her bed. It was all the more set off with being the only concession to anything other than work in the room. His eye fell on her drawer and he couldn't help a chuckle. Anything visible anyway.
He did like seeing it there, though. His eye returned to Aria. She looked beat. It had been a long night. He had forgotten in the rush of all these new people, but only an hour had passed since he'd spoken to Sonja, who'd been so protective of Mya. He really hoped they went to the shelter tonight. It was going to be freezing cold. He'd ask Valentin tomorrow. Maybe see if he could find them something more permanent.
Despite himself, he also thought about that house out in the country. He hoped Aria was right. The house full of people sort of answered the question for him. A bit at least, as his eye fell on Asha. A whole other universe than him.
He was interrupted from thought by Nox's question. Lucas pushed away the mood. "I own a tattoo shop."
He felt some pride as he nodded to the picture over Aria's head. "That's one of mine I did for Aria. It's good work. Enjoyable."
Despite himself he smiled as his eyes fell on Aria. "That's how I met Aria, actually. Wanted that for her arm."
He looked at Nox. "What about you?"
Suddenly it dawned on him and he felt stupid. This guy brought Aria someone like her. "You both work together?"
