It was an uncommon thing for Nyx to be home late on a Saturday night. She, like her brother, needed constant stimulation in her life. She was becoming bored now that her best friend was no longer an active part of her daily life and she needed some way to relieve her pent-up aggression. Normally, she’d be with Alastair or on the off chance she found a ‘case’ that required more than one, she’d be off with Alexei. But considering Alexei was often off with her brother now and Alastair was, well off being all noble with his redhead, she was left to her own devices.
Not that she minded it anymore. Being left to her own devices was the reason she’d been spending any sort of time with Nik Travers.
He was a brilliant mind and she enjoyed talking with him about his experiments when they did, but it was boredom that had led her to him the day she’d promised to help him sleep and after that interest had taken over. Too bad he was so much younger than her, while it didn’t seem a lot, 7 years was quite the difference, especially when your friends were involved. Not to mention she doubted her brother was going to like him. But that was a bridge she’d cross if she ever had to. For now, he was a toy to cure boredom, one she’d almost written to until she saw that Alastair needed her.
Alastair was a sore spot for Nyx. After Hector pointed out to her that she loved him, she’d felt this intense need to pull away from him as proof that she didn’t. The unfortunate side of that was that she did love him. Now perhaps she wasn’t in love with him as one would be a lover, but Nyx did love Alastair. He was one of the few people in her life that understood her, maybe better than her other friends and even her brother. Or really, he did understand her better and that was what made it impossible to pull away from him. It also angered her that she cared so much that someone knew. And for it to be, Hector of all people. If he knew her weakness, he knew he could manipulate it.
He needed her and Nyx wasn’t about to let him down. Instead, she used her wand to open the wards to him before moving through her flat to the kitchen and grabbing a bottle of dark red wine. A favored of hers for how dry it was but it was also quite potent and having aged as it did, was good for this. After opening the bottle, she poured to glasses to let it breathe before he arrived. She turned when she heard apparition, having given him entry through. “As promised,” she said holding the glass out to him. “Now tell me, who do I have to kill?”
