Preparations

[Nox]

A flying hand to his cheek caught him completely off guard just as he realized who he'd run into. The fiery red head was the very same red head he'd met a few days prior to leaving for Siberia. Even the words out of her mouth made absolutely no sense to Nox. None.

But before he could respond an oriental man walked up to them and asked her if HE was bothering her. Of all the fucking things, yes he ran into her, but she's the one who started it. Always blame the damn man! Thankfully the slap had roused the poor little puppy and as the man approached, it hunkered down and started a low rumble of a puppy growl, barring it's poor little mistreated teeth. Nox looked down and grinned at the puppy before he turned his attention back to the offending people.

He took a step back, leaving the pup where it was, even in skin and bone mode it was going to protect Nox. He liked that, granted he was very unlikely to do any damage in his current state, but that, that he could change. Maybe he wouldn't be so terribly mad at Aurora once he found her.

Nox looked at Ayden, "I apologize for running into you. It's not like I knocked you over, or god forbid smacked your face Duckling."
He turned to the man, "She hit me, thanks for asking if I'm alright!"
He rolled his eyes at the intruder but went back to Ayden. "What are you on about? You aren't pissed at me because I ran into you. I caused you no pain Duckling."
