Although giving a quick glance over his shoulder first and looking about, he then turned and remarked, ”What? Nothing broke or damaged yet?” It almost sounded as if he had expected such and was nearly disappointed at seeing everything still perfectly intact. ”And we still have customers too?”

Molyneux continued to give an unsettled look to the boy, and a more doubtful stare at the girl. However saying no more about it he leaned back in his seat, hooking one leg over the other while lighting up a cigarette. ”It’s been a few hours so I figured I’d drop in anyway,” he spoke, puffing out a smoky breath. It always felt so nice having a good smoke at this time of the day, especially when knowing he’d need it before attending the meeting that he’d undoubtedly force himself to go to. ”Lillian should be arriving soon to take over from you two. Although... you sure you really want to go to this meeting?” He asked Eris, particularly.
