      White, seething rage clung to the insides of the Dollmaker's throat as he thumbed the cracked screen of his phone - it burned and gurgled down in the depths of his chest cavity until he was virtually foaming at the lips in his rage. Teeth bared to the overwhelming emptiness of the streets about him, gums pallid and cold against the air; it would have been an unnerving sight to anyone who happened to witness it. The elderly man was heaving in rasping drags of stagnant air through his gritted lips, and forcing it back out of his nostrils in rough, stuttering sniffs. Evidently the news that had just been relayed to him seemed to have been perceived as a vitriolic attack on his intellectual capability, his ever-present notion not to shuck his jobs onto strangers had been confirmed yet again. And so the man was furious, itching with the physical sensation of it.
     Of course, this had put the " culprit " immediately within the unwavering sights of the Dollmaker, and given the circumstances -- the value and newly established significance this android held -- the elder was not pleased with the revelation. The concept that his instructions had been acknowledged and agreed upon; only for the other to sneer and proceed with whatever malintent he had decided on after viewing this android infuriated Ernst. He was well aware of the potential profit that these models could be exploited for, but had ( in a bout of what must have been naivety, as much as he despised to believe as much ) stupidly assumed that the other man would have had possessed enough dignity to follow through on his promises.
     Vaguely, the Dollmaker wondered if the criminal had been warned of his own prowess - much like had just been about the other's skeevy activities - and allowed himself a brief surge of self assurance. He wasn't some petty mechanic and was hardly unfamiliar with inflicting harm upon people, for a moment longer he lingered on the sidewalk, practically preening under the warmth his own self adoration. Although, he eventually turned his gaze over to the dishevelled building before him, gaze accosting the dilapidated walls with disgusted vigour, scanning for any alternate entrances. None. As far as he could see. Ah well, Ernst was hardly afraid of using the front door.
     As he lolloped up the crumbling stairs towards the front door, the elder considered the android herself, wondering if she would ( or COULD ) take this to metaphorical heart, the last thing he wanted was the girl to flee in upset and be loose across the city, she certainly knew enough and was hardly a capable survivor in his eyes. He frowned. Afterwards, he would mull over the effects, for now he just needed the girl back. And so he thumped a fist against the door and barked out a viscous German call.
