Chinese Warlord [Beijing, China]

[Nox]

Most of the last leg of the the 8 day trip Nox spent in his seat practicing various weaves backwards.  He never had one explosion.  It wasn't hard work until he tried to do it twisted as well.  So he kept working on weave after weave backwards until it was almost rote. 

A text did arrive at one point with the names of the plants he'd sent to Raffe.  He thanked Raffe and promised a home cooked meal.

  I owe you.  Make you your favorite meal when I get back.  As a thank you. 

Nox started working on a little planter, an earthen ware pot he created from an earth weave.  Filled it with dirt and made a small rectangular terrarium to grow his new little plants in.  Well at least when he got them.  The fresh scents from the live plants always worked better, and in the mean time he'd pick up essential oils as well and mix and match until the horde was completely pliable. 

It wasn't a fix-all but it was a better solution than sex and fighting all the time.  The horde was scratching at his walls more and more the further he got from London and Hayden.  And ultimately Raffe, but Nox was doing his best not to think about any of that.

Now all he had to do was plant the plants -- that should be fun.  But for now he'd continue with the little bag he had, it worked for now.
