Aria smiled as the two men and their regular customers had a laugh. It was as their expense, but it was all friendly, there was no real harm in any of it, and she felt no malice from anyone, it was a unique experience to feel the banter of friends. With in the Atharim Aria wasn't usually subjected to much of that.
Though she now had her fair share with Nox. He was all mirth and joy at least on the outside. Inside was a whole other story. Aria enjoyed watching Lucas walk back to his things and back to her, she smiled up at him as they left.
Aria stopped when he mentioned Nox. Since when did Nox and Lucas get along, or work together, the last time she saw them Lucas was up in his face at her apartment. She looked up into his piercing blue eyes, "Since when do you and Nox hang out?"
Lucas laughed. "Oh, we hashed things out I guess. Have at least a few common interests."
Okay then. Aria shook her head and smiled. "I'm a bit surprised, but as long as you aren't trying to kill my partner I think that's a good thing. And if he's not pissing you off the better."
Aria wrapped her arm around Lucas' waist and started walking again.
Aria glanced at her wallet, Nox hadn't texted her back yet. It didn't matter she'd see him soon enough apparently. Aria apologized for being scarce for the past week. She still didn't elaborate more than what she had, but she wanted to make sure he understood it wasn't done on purpose. The less Borovsky knew about her personal life the better. It was bad enough he had asked after Nox and Aurora, she was thankful Lucas hadn't come up in the conversation.
They hopped on the metro and headed towards the red light district where Nox and Aurora kept a warehouse, that apparently belong to the Russian mob. Not exactly a place that was a great place, but Nox had been working his butt of to make it a home for him and his sister. The last time she'd seen it the kitchen had been finished. Not much else had been. After the most important room in the place had been done Nox and Aurora switched to their own priorities, or so Nox said.
Aria and Lucas chatted but mostly Aria just wanted to hold his hand. Borovsky had been relentless, there was no emotion from except hatred and anger, very little understanding and he was not a man to play games with, Aria was tired of all that. She was glad Lucas had time for her.
The walk to the warehouse wasn't very far but the warmth of the train was preferable to the chill in the air, but she enjoyed leaning slightly on Lucas as they walked towards the warehouse. Aria was pretty sure Nox wasn't home and Aurora well, she was not overly fond of her so she wasn't sure there would be a warm welcome. Getting in might prove to be difficult.
