The only thing he could say about the debacle was that it wasn’t his fault this time. Well, things were hardly ever his fault since he was extremely careful with what he did, but that was besides the point. Coming back to town after the Gautier Manor had essentially ‘returned to the earth’ wasn’t exactly the greatest thing he wanted to be greeted with. Besides, it was also a terrible combination with the jet lag he was still bogged down with. Great tragedies go hand in hand with bars and the sort since there’s always an influx of people that need to drink their senses or thoughts away. Being busy with work was good. It was always good, but he felt like he was at a constant zero with energy. And that effected him in a lot of aspects. A lot of.. negative aspects.
Knife’s Edge has been closed for half an hour now. All of his employees had gone home, but he hadn’t realized how late it had gotten. Marcellus was up to his neck with various tasks he needed to do, but the lack of sleep caught up to him. He had closed his eyes for a second, just for a quick moment to ease the stinging burn that seared behind his eyelids, but then he was woken up by the sound of someone closing the front door of the bar. It was jarring to realize that he had dozed off, but he was quick to get up and walk out of his office to see who it was.
“We’re closed,” he said with complete impatience and annoyance. A scowl was already on his face, but he soon realized that the open sign hadn’t been turned off. Well, fuck. A hard sigh was pushed out through his nose as he chided himself for falling asleep. “We’re supposed to be closed, but fine- this time only. What’ll you have?” As he spoke he went over to the front window to switch off the open sign so no one else would come in at this hour.
Lyra was bored and that in itself meant trouble for those whom her gaze settled upon; though, what else was bloody new? It was because of said boredom that the original found herself at the Knife’s Edge which wasn’t all that out of the ordinary considering the amount of time the blonde spent in the watering hole of the hunters of Salem’s Point. Despite the place looking more deserted than usual, Lyra waltzed into the bar where she was greeted with quite the scowl and a pair of very weary eyes. “Should work on that, love.” she quipped as her gaze followed the other as he completed the simple task of turning a sign. “Whiskey, neat and in a clean glass if you’d be so kind.”
