Dominique emerged from the bathroom, wiping his hands on his trousers as he complained, "...They couldn't afford a damn toilet paper." But when he received no response, he looked around, puzzled, wondering where Grimgold had vanished to. Then, he recalled that Grimgold had gone to find something to carry their drinks.
Dominique stumbled his way back to the counter, grabbing one of the drinks from the nearby selection. He opened it and served himself, confident that once Grimgold saw he had opened another, he would take a seat and join him. So, Dominique took his time, savoring the drink, gulping it down slowly, anticipating Grimgold's return.
As he drank, he gazed around the area, still expecting Grimgold to reappear, unaware of the sudden confrontation that had unfolded between Grimgold and Victor. The silence was eerie, and Dominique's instincts began to stir, sensing something was amiss.
