He rapped on the door three sharp times, enough to wake the dead but not the neighbours, or so he'd calculated. The precise mathematical certainty of his knock made him pleasant. He loved precise things. Very slowly, Rory shuffled down the brief hallway separating her flat from the outside world. The three deadbolts — a charming reminder of past troubles — squealed one by one in quick succession. They were never meant to keep out vampires or werewolves, just people who were heavy-handed with their fists and their affection. Like certain former parts of her life she preferred to keep outside. Rory didn't know who would be on the other side of her wood-planked barrier. A delivery. Not for her. The blockade of deadbolts ensured that her property remained detached from party-too-hard student apartments flanking her flat on either side. My perfect little fortress. But Condition B sprouted, not bad, just unexpected. Condition B, with his impossibly preoccupied eyes and tailored suits. Bloody hell. "How did you find this place?" She kept her body rigidly positioned in the doorway, deliberately choosing to block his entry entirely. "The door was locked." "My dear girl, has anyone ever told you three heavy bolts make little difference when you're obliging enough to look out the window at precisely eight forty-three p.m.? I've been tracking you for days. The Yu-Fei delivery schedule, Walkheath bookshop, the curry house below. fashionably occasionally." Her right hand — the one not still on the third and most stubborn deadbolt — smacked against her forehead. Nails, short and utilitarian black, tapped impatiently against skin. "Of course you have. What do you want, Luc?" He made no move to enter. She saw his left amber eye, constantly restless, scan the flat behind her before touching her face, then the messy pile of spell tomes on her coffee table, before finally landing on her torn jeans and weary features again. "Plenty," he admitted, waving in the air the ivory-handled cane he always carried. "Plenty I suspect you'd rather not know. But primarily, I've come about yesterday's development." "Yesterday?" Was quite apparent in her voice. "Yesterday was yesterday. The relevant parts remain." "Oh," Lucien dipped his head slightly, smooth blonde hair catching the hallway light as if made of spun glass, "the relevance index on this particular situation operates on a remarkably different scale. Might we discuss it indoors? Indicating a growing sense of impatience. I wasn't anticipating doorstep rudimentary astronomy either." Rory scoffed but stepped aside, allowing him just enough room to enter and not need to squeeze sideways. Still, as he brushed past her, she detected the subtle clove and cedar scent, an experience she recalled in vivid, troubling detail from three years ago. Platinum blond head sunk below the doorframe as he passed through, moving with the preternatural grace too perfect for human edited genes sličenia. "Are you stealthing point options down there?" she asked irritably once she secured the locks. No point in good security measures if you left them open when the predatory cat was already indoors. The moment the lock tumbled closed with a final, definitive snick, the flat above the curry house still felt smaller with both of them inside. contriadicting "Apartments in above-continent's building, crossword-style vision performance completed.

Lucien glided across the room without looking, straight to the bookshelf where prints of obscure London architecture layered its scraps height. He plucked her Office from yesterday morning — an mailed Occult Enquiry about a client issue, sigilic cold documents verification, one altercation managed — and certainly had questions about "If I had," he murmured without turning, "you wouldn't have nearly killed yourself checking for kitchen slippers at 2am, would you?
