He breathed out as the clouds moved, staring into the sky. Night...it was rather apt, that his moniker calmed him. He was always more at ease at night.

Unsheahing his techknife, he stared at it.

''"I can't beleive. That when I breathe! That there's one good thing inside of me, just one good thing inside of me." ''The song flowed from his voice as he gazed at the blade. Sheathing the weapon, Nox stared out into the view.

He should have known something would have come along to fuck it up. He just didn't realize it would be what he had been doing since he was eight. Killing. It came so easily now....

He could have just knocked the man out. Should have just knocked him out. It would have been easy. But...well...He had fallen back into old habits. Habits that had developed since he was eight...

He was a fool. The cycle of his life would always continue. All good things must come to an end. His just involved something dying.

He snorted. The teen was more than cynical enough to know when something was about to end. A lifetime of killing for money tended to ingrain that into someone.

"''If I went out the back door, nobody would stop me. But where would I go? Cause I ain't ever had a real home, so what do I know? I could keep runnin', and nobody would find me! But what would it do? If they could only know what I knew, what would it prove?" ''

''"Shoulda seen the writin on the wall! Instead I'm left to fall! Cause the longer I'm away! The more we stay the same! Lookin' back whan I thought I knew it all! Instead I'm left to fall! Did I throw it all away....?" ''Moisture slid down his cheek, and he sighed.

He wiped tears from his eyes, and continued. "I can't believe, that when I breathe, that there's something good inside of me. Just one good thing inside inside of me. So close to me! That memory! That one good thing inside of me, just that one good thing inside of me, yeah..."

He finished the verse, and sighed, tears still streaming down.

"Shoulda just stuck with killing, Noctum. It would have been much simpler. It was, much simpler when it was just you and your brother. Cobalt to. Just the three of you: watching each others backs against a world that could care less..." He grit his teeth, and the tears stopped.

"Enough with the laments." He muttered, and laid back, content to stay there. He was at the top of the airship. Not the safest place, but he didn't give a damn. He would fall asleep here, and deal with everything later.

Tristan released her, and held her at an arms length.

"Lady Tianee, are you alright? Your partener disappeared! I'm not sure it's safe to have him around, after what we saw..." It was actual concern that laced his voice, not any amorous intentions.

"I don't understand what he is to you, but it isn't healthy to have him around!" He scolded.
