This was feeling a bit strange---but it shouldn't be, she was being silly! It was just her that felt strange and hot because of all the time she'd spent daydreaming about the two of them. Nora's feelings for Octavius were so used to being suppressed that it wasn't hard to push them away; it was nearly as easy for her as it was to list off the sixty-four types of pixies in the world. It was just her ears and cheeks that refused to lose their reddish tint that she never could control.
"Ooh, no, he's not here," Nora said apologetically, unable to control her pout at the thought. Reminding herself that Nico was actually off doing something very interesting and exciting brightened her demeanor, however, and her eyes grew wide. "He's preparing for his team's trip to Egypt. They leave Friday, so there's a lot to be done---I've never been so I'm quite jealous."
Nora straightened her shoulders, feeling a bit proud regardless of her jealousy.
"And he's real, despite what Charlie will tell you." Nora scowled, thinking of the remarks Charlie had made after overhearing her mention Nico to another guest.
