Getting out
#11
She didn't look like she was having an easy go of this. She at didn't seem angry at him, at least not after he'd explained himself. The guy didn't seem overly caring either, Nox just go a strange feeling that he didn't care about much.

She introduced herself. Nox grinned down at her and offered his name as well. "Nox."
He was saddened by the fact that she was alone in all of this. He remembered being alone. Remembered before he'd met Bas and Pyotr and then later Aria. Moscow was a big place, could feel like a conspiracy. In his case it probably was. He grinned at the thought, the Atharim could have been hunting him and he'd never even known it. Thankfully they weren't, they hadn't even known he was in town. But he was now. And he was a full fledged member, minus that tattoo. He'd have to get that done soon, Aria knew a guy.

Ashavari agreed to stay with Aria, he really didn't know what to say other than to reassure her, "She's good people. Might be a bit distant, but she has her reasons. A little cold at first, but she's a sweet girl."
None of it was a lie, Aria had her reasons for being distant, for not getting close to people, but he was sure she'd help out when asked. And Nox kinda had an extra reason for taking her to Aria, maybe Aria could tell him if his secret was safe, if she saw anything out of the ordinary.

As if she was reading his thought she said the ambulance was coming, and Nox didn't want to be around when it came. "We should probably get going before the ambulance gets here, it'll probably bring the CCDPD, and unless you want to report this, I'd rather not be here."
He'd really not want to be here, he'd really not want to be taken in for questioning, for further viewing of the footage he was sure captured his heroic attempt at saving the now stolen car. Hell of a way to go, brought down by your own people.

Ashavari turned to the man in black, was goth back in, or was it a Moscow thing? But either way he was there, helping out, he'd probably be the one to blab about whatever he saw, but then again maybe not, rejectors of authority and all that, he seemed a bit distant, like he didn't want to be here either. She asked him to come, make sure he wasn't an axe murderer. Nox laughed. With his best redneck accent, he grinned, "Nah, Duckling, I ain't no axe murderer, might slice and dice ya, but an axe, that's too impersonal. Have to really put your body behind an axe, no finesse."
There was no doubt in his mind that it was clear he was making a joke, the humor in his voice, the light in his eyes. Nox knew it was probably uncalled for, uncouth and pretty much off putting but really if you can't laugh when you are down when can you.

The man in black offered his name and his hand to Ashavari. Elias Donavan, he put the name in his memory banks, thought he was likely to forget it.

"Let me see if she's home."
Nox turned away from the pair of them then pushed the speed dial button for Aria's wallet. Though he could probably dial it if he had to, it was one number he'd stuck to memory, a life line so to speak. She picked up. "Aria, favor to ask. Got a friend, she needs a place to stay for a little while. Her car got stolen. Figure since you aren't home at nights, she could crash there."
He could tell from the sound of her voice, that she wasn't happy but she didn't say no either. Nox knew Aria wouldn't say no to helping someone, he'd counted on it actually. She reluctantly agreed and he smiled, "We'll there as soon as we get things situated here."
She told him about the hidden key if she wasn't there when he got there, but she reassured him she'd be there in short order. He hung up the phone and turned back to them. "She's game. Shall we?"
He held out his arm all gentleman like to Ashavari. He looked to Elias with a playful grin then back to Ashavari. "I will warn you both now. Aria is distant, can feel almost cold, but she's not, it's a protective shell."
He frowned. "And her uh, apartment might seem a bit uh, armed to the tooth."
Now his prior comment seemed a bit worse, made Aria seem more dangerous than she really is, at least to non-monster anyway. Monsters beware though.

Nox started them towards Aria's place. They'd have to get on the metro to get there quickly.
