She was working, he got it. He had bothered her when she was working in the dishwashing area and alone, but the closer she was to the inner circle of this organization, the less they would get face-to-face interaction. He would become the creepy immortal to watch his beloved sleep.

Victor, the silent type of drunk curled his finger when he saw Ladislas trying to leave.
"You're leaving so early?" he asked with a hint of incredulity.
"Yeah. It's no fun in here." Ladislas shrugged.
