Painted Dreams

[Nox]

Thalia walked up with a smile and he was pretty sure it was for Nova. Her compliment had Nox grinning from ear to ear at how casually she said it. Nox stood to help help Thalia but she was already dumping her books on the table. "I could have come to you, we didn't have to meet out here." But she was already here so there was really no need now. "That's Nova." I grinned at her. "Say hi Nova." The pup yipped and stood up wagging his tail and pushed his head against Thalia's chair for a good rub. "He's a bit of a drama queen."

Nox was glad he got to be a real boy too. This was better than sitting someplace spiralling into darkness. He needed to figure this shit out and that was doing to be difficult since he had to deal with the fact that could channel and it hurt on top of it all. Thalia rambled on about demon entrails and Nox laughed. "I will keep that in mind next time I'm knee deep in visera." He didn't admit he hadn't been hunting in a while. Though he needed to, he was feeling that need, and that was probably why part of this was hard.

The books all looked used and smudged and his coffee arrived with the waitress. "May I?" This was going to be a good distraction. Even Nova agreed. He missed Lasher and Sage probably Aiden too. But they needed to do this - away from everyone. It was good.
