It had been an early night for him. A quick job and he was back to his apartment, already looking over more files and reading up on the next case. Things just were getting messier and messier. It was already almost one in the morning by the time he chanced a glance at the clock.
“Shit.”
He stacked all the files up neatly and went around the small apartment, shutting off the lights before settling back on the couch in the somewhat dimmer room. Jones had been planning to go to bed but something caught his eye before he could settle down for the night.
A figure in the far back of the room looking out from the shadows.
“… Thought we agreed you’d knock.” He says to the figure, standing and shuffling the files somewhere where they would be safer. “Unless yer not him. In which case, yer spooky and need t’ get that checked.”
Took you long enough to notice, Jones. Working hard as always I see...
The shadowed figure chuckled, the sound deep and softly echoing. A flicker of the darkness had them flitting from the back of the room and right up onto the couch, lounging casually with their arm over the back. Their tail flicking lazily back and forth while they watched him. As if slinking around his apartment was normal and not a blatant disregard for their previous discussion about privacy. Did you honestly expect me to hold to that agreement? We didn’t even sign a contract...
They’re teasing him, but he really should know that locks and doors aren’t going to stop the Scribe from coming and going as they please. It ought to come as no surprise by now.
