Aria smiled at the Ascendancy's claim of military force but she didn't say anything, there was no one for many miles, and she would know if more approached short of an army of gods holding the power.
Nox dropped his power and she could once again feel him, he was in awe of Ascendnacy. Though none of it showed. She could feel him ready to grab his power, coiled and ready but unarmed. Aria didn't turn around but she was sure that he was not grinning. He was not a stupid man, no matter his outward appearance, he was more than happy to let Aria take the lead. It was her mission afterall.
Aria nodded her head towards Lucas. "This is Lucas. He's an innocent and loyal memeber of the CCD. He is a tattoo artist and a student by trade, he is no threat. He is here only at my request to spend time alone on an impromptu vacation. I did not expect to meet the man himself in the flesh so soon or I wouldn't have asked him to come."
Lucas could get angry at her words, but she wanted him out of this dealings, she wished he would not be so protective of her, that he'd learn to let her do her job and stay out of it, but he was here, and now his life hung in the balance just like her's and Nox's.
"I am Aria Piccolo and this is Nox Durante."
She held her hand to indicate Nox. "I'm sure you are already aware which one is a godling. Nox is here to watch my back. He is my friend."
The next few words were likely to get her and Nox killed and possible even Lucas. "I am here to research ... well you. My handler wanted action. This was my next move to keep myself alive a little longer. Seems that may not be the case now."
Aria gave a small laugh at the irony of it. "I came to see what I could feel here, what I could find out about what had happened that might sway my mission one way or the other."
Aria pulled her gloves off and tucked them in the pockets in her coat. The orobourous still neatly hidden beneath her sleeves until the approrpiate time. "We have no intentions of harming you this day."
Aria paused, "Or any other day for that matter."
It was a decision that had been looming far too long, to kill Ascendancy meant to hunt gods, and hunting gods meant hunting Nox and Aurora, not to mention everyone else that she'd ever met, "Nox is not the only godling whom I've met, we have one of them in common actually. Commander Michael Vellas saved me once. We have an understanding of sorts. He knows what I am and I still live despite his pure hatred of my kind."
It had been touch and go the last time she'd spoke with Michael, tracking him to his house, talking to him in his living room. It had been an adventure unto itself. Aria smiled, "For which I do not blame him. Being hunted is never pleasant."
