a brighter discontent

Nyx Arrow, 30. Originally from District 4. Mom. Former escort. Current Trainer. Ajax's. Single and staying that way. That's all you really need to know, right? ..... Right.

What happened to you?

[arrownyx]

Nothing.

[quinten-lancaster-deactivated20]

Well go ahead, but I can assure you that it’s for nothing.

[arrownyx]

Uh huh. You don’t really think that was believable, do you?

[remus-ashcraft-blog]

…………..No.  I..I just..am.

[arrownyx]

Okay. If you say so.

[remus-ashcraft-blog]

There’s…..there’s something….wrong with your….face.

[arrownyx]

........Yeah, Rem. There’s something wrong with my face.

[rhys-archerarchive]

“Nyx? Talk to me, what’s wrong?”

[arrownyx]

“Ajax is dead.”

[alix-flux-blog]

Um………..h-how….how do we….f-figure that out?

[arrownyx]

I don’t know. But we’ll think of something. Maybe we can ask Devyn.

[peridotlafontaine]

“Nyx?  What’s wrong?”

[arrownyx]

“N-nothing.” She pulls herself together, sitting up straight and schooling her features into a sort of calm detachment.

“What’s up, Peri?”

[violetgallagher]

“Yeah, that’s very true.”

[arrownyx]

“You good, baby girl?”

[arrownyx]

[ariadne-stark]

“Fuck.” Ariadne was speechless for once, unable to conjure a single word of comfort knowing all too well after watching Orion ‘die’ that there was none to be had. Instead she just pulled her friend closer and murmured. “Nyx I’m so sorry.” 

[arrownyx]

Nyx had been trying for too long to keep her emotions in check - she couldn’t do it anymore. Especially not with Ariadne who she knew wouldn’t judge her. She needed her best friend, her sister, so she finally let herself cry.

“I thought it’d be easier knowing it was coming. I thought I was ready, but-... I don’t-... it hurts.”

[alix-flux-blog]

I r-really…d-don’t……..Rem said…..m-my stutter…….i-is getting w-worse…..

[arrownyx]

It is, yeah. That’s why I’m curious about what’s going on with you. You were doing really well.

We gotta figure out what’s getting you so anxious, baby boy. I’m worried about you. -pulls him into a hug and kisses his forehead-

[orionhowle-blog]

“Won’t need them. I’m the match and the fuse.”

[arrownyx]

“Yeah, I know.”

“But it’s not something we have to worry about because no one’s gonna make you leave, and she’s going to be fine.”

[ariadne-stark]

Ariadne held on tight, refusing to let go when Nyx clearly needed her. “I’ll be fine, I don’t intend to let this end me and a little pain is worth it if it means comforting your friend. Now are you going to tell me what I’ve missed? Because I know this has to do with more than just me.”

[arrownyx]

Saying the words is hard, so much harder than she had already thought they’d be. She starts and stops a few times before she finally pushes it out. 

“Jax... h-he’s g-...he’s gone...”

[ariadne-stark]

She hold’s Nyx’s hand tightly and uses it to help pull her into a hug, wincing and drawing a breath at the pain.

“Just let it all out, you know I’m here for you.”

[arrownyx]

“Don’t, stupid, you’re gonna hurt yourself,” Nyx scolds, trying very gently to pull out of Ariadne’s hold. She desperately needs the comfort, but not at the expense of her best friend’s recovery. Orion would kill her.

[adonis-fletcher-blog]

“Shit. I’m sorry, Nyx. I don’t know what - I just-.”

“I’m just lost.”

[arrownyx]

“I know. I know.”

“I wish I knew how to help you, but I don’t cuz I can’t help myself.”

[ariadne-stark]

Nyx, get your ass over here so I can hug you, seeing as you won’t let me leave this damned bed.”

“I’m not going anywhere, ok? You won’t lose me too.”

[arrownyx]

She walks to Ariadne’s bed and sits very slowly next to her best friend, gently grasping her hand.

[adonis-fletcher-blog]

“Don’t what, Nyx? Tell the truth? Talk about them?”

[arrownyx]

“Adon...”

“Please. I can’t.”
