A laugh escaped him. An honest-to-god laugh left him and a warm smile pulled his thin lips back.
"Yeah, that's one way to put it, I suppose~"
(On Medical Hiatus)
She smiles a little.
“… But that must be nice to find the weird things… even if you’re weird yourself.”

"Yeah, I do... I just wish I wasn't so good at finding the weird things."
A half-chuckle followed by him brushing the back of his head.
(On Medical Hiatus)
“… O-Oh… I mean, is it something you want to do?…”
She looks at him.
𝓝𝔂𝔁 “𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓑𝓸𝓸𝓰𝓮𝔂𝔀𝓸𝓶𝓪𝓷”
"Yeah... It was something my parents thought I'd be... good at."
He hesitated a bit as he watched her fidget with her hands.
(On Medical Hiatus)
Nyx looks at Travers, fidgeting with her hands.
“O-Oh… you want to be a detective?… like ‘Sherlock’ detective?…”
𝓝𝔂𝔁 “𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓑𝓸𝓸𝓰𝓮𝔂𝔀𝓸𝓶𝓪𝓷”
"Yeah. I bought the whole complex a couple months ago... Hoped to turn it into a detective agency."
There were a lot of books and folders strewn about the furniture, including what seemed to be a large encyclopedia on top of a chair. The man appeared to be well-read, it seemed.
(On Medical Hiatus)
Nyx would go inside, looking around.
“So… this is like your hideout?…”
𝓝𝔂𝔁 “𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓑𝓸𝓸𝓰𝓮𝔂𝔀𝓸𝓶𝓪𝓷”
He was walking briskly towards what looked to be an old strip mall in the middle of town. A fading neon light guided him to a suite in the center of the complex. Reaching the destination, he opened the door and held it ajar, allowing her to go forward.
(On Medical Hiatus)
She nods her head, following beside him. She was still a bit skittish, but he didn’t seem like he was planning on hurting her, so that’s something.
𝓝𝔂𝔁 “𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓑𝓸𝓸𝓰𝓮𝔂𝔀𝓸𝓶𝓪𝓷”
He gestures to her, giving her a reassuring smile.
"Let's head back to my place. It's not that far from here."
(On Medical Hiatus)
She smiles a little.
“Y-Yeah… that would be great.”
𝓝𝔂𝔁 “𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓑𝓸𝓸𝓰𝓮𝔂𝔀𝓸𝓶𝓪𝓷”
"Good, good."
He exhales in relief, looking around his environs.
"You know, I don't think this a proper place to continue this conversation... You wanna follow me for a minute?"
(On Medical Hiatus)
She nods her head.
“Y-Yeah… I’m okay.”
𝓝𝔂𝔁 “𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓑𝓸𝓸𝓰𝓮𝔂𝔀𝓸𝓶𝓪𝓷”
"You can call me Travers, Nyx."
He approached her now, a look of concern forming on his face.
"Are you okay?"
(On Medical Hiatus)
“Ohh… sorry… I-I’m Nyx…”
She fidgets with her sleeves, finally looking at him.
𝓝𝔂𝔁 “𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓑𝓸𝓸𝓰𝓮𝔂𝔀𝓸𝓶𝓪𝓷”
"...Ohnononono!"
Will puts his hands up in a show of nonaggression, concern washing over his face.
"I wuz bein' just curious! I'm honestly interested in who and what you are, miss!"
(On Medical Hiatus)
Nyx jumps back, looking at him with wide eyes.
“Oh! Uhm… h-hi… I-I’m sorry… I’m not a bad person… I swear…”

"Whoa, hello!"
The adept takes a moment to assess the individual before him, making no aggressive motions towards them.
"You are unique.... What's your deal?"
