Her soothing presence immediately filled him with a sense of relief as a small smile automatically appeared on his face.
Who wouldn't smile if he woke up to such a lovely sight? Nux doubted any man could resist such an urge.
It was not just Lane either, as he glanced around, he realized that Aisha, Melia, Thyra, and Allura, had all encircled him as well, looking at him with warm smiles on his face.
"You are awake," Thyra commented.
"I am." Nux nodded. Soon, however, his head cleared up and,
"Where are the others?" He questioned.
