[ota] someday I'll fly away

[escapeandevade]

It was good to be home. Or at least maybe people were of the opinion that it was good to have Addy home again, which they seemed prone to stating over and over as he walked through the hallways on his way to see Argine about coming back to work as Eileen's bodyguard. Not that he had intentions of replacing Kevin, but the poor fella seemed in despite need of a vacation.

What he hadn't expected that morning was the news that the surveillance Elisha had asked him to put on Jack Donovan was terminated as quickly as it had started. Donovan was reported dead at the scene of a crime; apparently trying to stop another member of his team from going rogue. It made for an uncomfortable conversation in the near future with the king of Clubs.

Ah well, there wasn't much he could do on that front. So still, he'd find Argine first and eventually make his way back to the King. Perhaps after unpacking his things and putting them away, and having tea with Eileen.

"I...see. Squid is extreme fascinating. More so when the words are in English." He said with a smirk before raised a brow at her last question. What did he read?

"Oh...user manuals mostly." He joked, in a rather serious tone. "And self-help guides. I'm not really one for novels. I spend too much time thinking how implausible it has to do."

It wasn't that she didn't agree about novels. She did, in fact. Still, he was absolutely going to get something of a look for the rest of his response.

"What about philosophy? History? That sort of thing?"

"UH....I am currently looking for suggestions." He said with a slight smile before he shifted a little.

"You aren't going to hold that against me, are you?"

[lowtohigh]

"Are you going to hold it against me if I enjoy a novel someday?"

Fair and legitimate question, sir.

[escapeandevade]

"Never. Not at all, and would not possibly cross my mind. Ever. At all."

He had to grin at that at least.

"D'you really promise?"

And, more importantly, did he read plays? Because that was what Eileen might have been standing up to grab down from her nearest bookshelf.
