The sound of the brewing coffee pot grated. Everything was loud this morning. Afternoon? Aaron looked around for a clock and didn’t see one. Whatever. For once, he wasn’t hungover, but a headache plagued him anyway. Wandering to the canteen pantry, Aaron peeked inside, hoping for something to leap out at him as appetizing. Nothing did. He found a fruit bowl on the counter and picked over some hard red apples until he uncovered a tiny, lonely clementine.
When Aaron turned back to the coffee pot, he realized he wasn’t alone. And the person before him wasn’t an island regular. The fresh blood of a newly captured royal used to amuse Aaron to a degree. No, there’s no library here. Yes, there is a decent gym. You’re never getting your phone back. Now it exhausted him, begging the question of how the fuck this kept happening. “Hallo, Ragnar,” Aaron said with a quiet smile. “Care for some coffee?”
