In Depths We Tread
Vhalar 108 716
Location: Patrick's Apartment
There had been a strange feeling in the air as the humidity seemed to rapidly decline, Vhalar's weather suddenly on the verge of a chill as the winds catered the city with small breezes. Rharne would soon be met with cooler weather that would only turn frigid, as the Cold Cycle proved to never be merciful in its later lifespan. Regardless however Patrick had plenty of time left to prepare, no matter how cold the winter he'd be able to deal with the cold. Better than he did in Dust Town at any rate. The man stirred a little with a polite stretch made for his body, the length of his legs allowed for toes to reach the edge of his bed. By the Fates; another fine day to wake up too, as another had apparently fallen asleep next to him.
Alistair had made it habit to be staying at his place lately, a rather acceptable boon for Patrick at first, although recent events have led him to determine things... unsafe. Alistair could handle himself in a situation sure, but Patrick had his own personal business to investigate. Knowingly enough he already felt himself playing bait for something, and had practically been waiting since two days ago for somebody to make their move. Kar. Could it really be him though? What with the way Pat's inclinations summed up to, and the lack of possibilities in him knowing about what he did of the book...
There was a lot at stake for Patrick right now, the worst thing he could do was drag anybody else in. Rei had already done as he asked and now the book remained hidden, not even he knew where to find it now that she'd kept it from him. With good reason too, otherwise there would be no telling what to expect should Kar, or whoever, come along to try and take it from him. "Mornin' sunshine." He whispered with a rough finger brought up to lightly trail along the noble's cheekbone. "Ya sleep well?" He asked with a soft and warm smile as he watched Alistair's eyes flutter open.
Honestly he didn't want to just blatantly ask the man to avoid the place for the next few days, but he had to somehow make it sound like he'd be busy elsewhere to avoid chances. Maybe... as much as he didn't like to, he would have to compose a white lie to the man. Alistair had done similar in a sense... although the situation was entirely different from Pat's own now of course. Why ruin the moment when he could indulge in a serene moment, where he got to see the man he fell in love with awaken on his own time.
