After Valeria left the hotel’s stables she reappeared on top of a nearby building. Vanessa, her sister, sat at the edge overlooking the hotel. “Hello sister how is our foolish Alister,” she asked.
“He overworked himself as always but he will recover. What troubles me is his bloodlust,” Valeria said.
“I wonder how long until he breaks,” Vanessa stated.
“That won't happen. Now if you excuse I have some hot men to investigate,” Valeria said jumping off the building then disappearing in a cloud of smoke. She stopped at a local bistro and grabbed breakfast before heading back to the far. Once she was done, she reappeared back at the bar landing on Andrew hugging his neck from behind.
“Missed me,” She said giggling. She let after a moment and handed him the food, “got you breakfast. I didn’t know what you liked so I got a little of everything an egg and cheese biscuit, some bagels with jam and cream cheese, donuts, a salad, and coffee. Dig in.” Her voice was calm and mother-like, a striking contrast to her usual loud and bubbly persona
Alister’s face flushed red when he noticed Drake curled up around him. He tried to hide his embarrassment but failed. He was afraid that he was getting soft but he didn’t care if it was drake. People rarely cared for him, except for the Fae Twin, but they were an exception. Somehow it warmed his heart knowing that drake cared. “That long?…um sorry for the innocence,” Allister mumbled, “and thank you.”
Alister immediately stood up and looked away trying to hide his flushed face. He grabbed his bag and quickly sat down at the table with his back towards drake. He gave himself another shoot feeling the fatigue slowly leave him.
“Ready old man? We have a lot of work to do. I’ve already wasted haft of the day so we should really be heading out,” Alister said back to his normal tone. “We should also get breakfast, on me, as a thank you. I know a good place.”
