OOM - Russel Edginton's Mansion
Dec. 7th, 2014 08:01 amThey see Edginton off, all the way to the car. It takes a while, as all bad feelings now seem to be forgotten and a flirty, chirpy Talbot is quite a time sink.
In the end, Eric steps closer and reminds him that there are only five hours or so left of the night. And that they all have things to - accomplish.
And once again, he earns an almost grateful look from his King.
They head back inside where Sophie-Ann, who have demonstratively said her fond farewells from the staircase inside the hall, loudly announces that she is going to bed. And that she is taking Hadley.
No one cares.
Except, perhaps, for Hadley.
Eric runs the back of his fingers down Talbot's arm and as he steps closer, he looks around the hall and commits the placement of the guards to memory. Reminding himself of the exits. The viewpoints.
He suggests that they relocate to the drawing room (only one entrance, but fairly soundproof) and Talbot agrees.
So far, so good.
