Connor was at his side and he barely even noticed until Aria pulled their attention back to the situation at hand. Ayden had been yelling and all he could think was shut up, she can't hear you. He responded out of habit, out of complete dysfunction. It wasn't until after he'd called her Duckling and she ignored it that he realized he'd even spouted the name he knew would only piss her off.
Aria needed out - lock down. Things seemed fuzzy. Nox was glad Connor was there to help. But why was he fussing over him. The man hardly knew him, yet here he was helping and being concerned for a man who was hunting his girlfriend... It was too much to think about, he couldn't think straight. Aurora was gone. Pushed away by his own actions. She was dead because of him.
Dead... How could she be dead. Had Aria gotten a location? The man was dead. But could he bury his sister? Pain lanced through his body but he couldn't feel it.
Nox stood up slowly. Aria needed out. Focus on that, focus on getting the only family he had left back at his side instead of locked in the last place Aurora's killer had been alive. Aria had killed him. Nox would have liked to do that, but Aria was probably right, it looked better if he died that way. No pain, no reason other than his heart gave out. He didn't deserve it. He deserved to have his heart carved from his chest and pulled out while it still beat. The dark imagery flooded through his mind and he could see Aria doing just the same.
Nox leaned against the wall and took a deep breath and realized he couldn't have done it, not even a little. He'd have hesitated. Even in his anger, the man would have gotten away. The words she was dead had paralyzed him. Aria continued, she moved forward, she did what had to be done. But he couldn't.
Nox closed his eyes and prayed - really prayed that Aria came back from this, he didn't think he could kill her in cold blood. He couldn't kill this man, how was he suppose to kill a girl he found to be family?
