Birthday Plans [North of Moscow]

[Nox]

It had been a good long while since Nox had been out in the woods. It felt like home. He missed his sister. It was sorta the point of doing this here and now. All for Aurora. An excuse to run away from his problems to deal with his problems. All fair in love and war.

Nox headed deeper into the woods. The horde was restless in the wide open. The sky wasn't their thing -- they were city critters. But Nox loved it. He sat down on a fallen log after kicking it a few times to sip at some water. It smelled like home. Nox buried his face in his hands and fought with the tears that threatened to fall. Things in his life had changed and escalated quickly. And now he was off kicking a single Atharim who couldn't stay the fuck away. When were they going to learn to leave him and his alone.

The trail he had laid was precise. He had left it for this purpose and he didn't expect the guy to make his self known right away. He'd hunt him a few days, make sure there were no surprises. That's what he'd do.

Nox set in to walking the woods again and laid eyes on what game was available. There would be hunting in his near future.
