It was a rare, beautiful day out today and Nathan decided he couldn’t let it go to waste.  Packing up a bag and slathering some sunscreen on, the familiar prepped to go for a hike.  To get outside, enjoy some fresh air, and maybe let his mind let go of all the shit that had been weighing him down the past few weeks.  Opening the front door, he jumped in surprise at the sight of Peyton standing on his porch, hand raised as if he was about to knock.  

“Oh, Peyton, hi.  Um...can I help you?”  They hadn’t talked since then, so to see the other man was unexpected, to say the least.

James perked up at the knock on his office door, quickly stubbing out his cigarette and waving away some of the smoke.  “Come in,” he called.  He raised a brow as a man he’d never seen before walked in.  “You must be here to collect Nathan Jin’s personal effects, right?  They told me someone called the front desk earlier.”  

He opened up a drawer and pulled out a clipboard.  “I’m just gonna need you to sign this and it’s all yours.”  The detective looked Peyton over, his expression softening.  “I’m sorry for your loss man.  That shit ain’t easy.”

“How can I help?” Ares kept his eyes down as he asked the question but it was clear he was speaking to Peyton. “I read in the paper. Um... I know what they put but it doesn’t make logical sense. His brother had only been missing a few days, searches hadn’t even finished. He was an investigative reporter, right? Does it not make more sense that he would try to figure out what happened rather than...” 

Nothing made sense to Ares these days. He liked how quiet the fog made everything though. It was like a buffer on the world. “I don’t... I want to help if I can. What do you need?” @peytonfox​

“Payton Fox! Where are you, you sexy mother fucker?” Ruby let the door to Sensations close behind her as she sauntered through the store towards the counter. There didn’t seem to be any customers at the moment so she saw fit to climb onto the counter as she waited for him to come out from the back. “I leave for a few weeks to go have some fun and I end up missing all the fun back here. I can’t believe someone ruined the Halloween party without my being there.” @peytonfox​

mercy smiled down at peyton as he came to again. he’d been in and out ever since evani pulled him out of the hospital. now, though, she was gone, hiding out in her own safe house. mercy had camped out by pey’s side, grimoire open in her lap as she read through it desperately, searching for protection against greater beings like demons. evani’s healing spell was working, but mercy wanted to make sure he was healing right and taking care of himself in the midterm so he healed faster. 

“hey, stupid,” she whispered affectionately, pushing some of his curly hair away from his forehead. “i’m glad you’re awake for this, though. need you to sip on some tea.” ( @peytonfox​ )

Feeling as if lead was holding his eyelids shut, Nathan struggled to open his eyes.  The bright, clinical lights of the hospital room forced a groan from his lips.  Blinking for several seconds to adjust, the familiar lay in shock as he noticed someone dozing in the bedside chair.  “Peyton?” he croaked out, mouth feeling as dry as a desert.  

It didn’t help that his heart did funny things at the fact the warlock was the first person he was seeing after...whatever the hell happened.  It was all still a blur, one that made his head pound trying to remember any details.

He couldn’t focus. He was only a day post full moon and he still felt like his whole body was a live wire. Not to mention his compromised state had lead to him confessing things via a text message. Ares sighed heavily, tired eyes finally looking away from his computer screen. Nova was sat on the other side of the room to him, still wary but willing enough to tag along again thankfully. She still wasn’t sure if he was a threat or not. His attention snapped up when he heard someone knock on the slight ajar door. “Come in.” He called expecting to see a student. To see Peyton instead was something of a surprise. “Oh. Hi. Peyton. Can I help you?” @peytonfox

apparently every magic user she’d known at oxford had migrated to wildemount and never bothered to tell her. to be far, she had been pretty insistent for pretty long that she wanted to teach at oxford––only, the longer she stayed there, the more she wanted something else, something closer to her roots. she’d spent far less time on her magic than evani or peyton had at oxford; without a mentor to guide her, she honed in on her phd program and focused on that instead. she graduated younger than most in her class, but now she felt like something was missing. part of that, of course, meant reconnected with peyton now that she’d found out from evani that he was in town. she’d gotten from evani that he worked at––of course––the adult shop in town. with a resilient sigh, mercy pushed open the front door to the building, in the middle of the day, with light out, because she was brave. “peyton?” ( @peytonfox​ )
