Insomnia Things
Gilbert walked into the room then stopped and stared. Tea was set on the small table and Lady Sharon and Liam were seated around it. None of this was strange in the least. What gave him pause, however, was the pair of familiar white booted feet sticking out from under the edge of the tablecloth. Xerxes Break was known for his odd behavior. He quite often appeared from unusual places at random times but usually there was not even a hint of his presence before he appeared.
Sharon noticed where the dark haired man gazed and smiled, "Hello, Gilbert. You will have to excuse Xerxes. He has been awake for three days. The warm tea was too much for him so he's taking a nap."
Gil glanced at the two of them then back at the booted but sock less feet. "What has he been doing? Pandora business?"
Sharon smiled and sipped her tea, but said nothing. It reminded him disturbingly of the man under the table. Liam snorted and muttered under his breath, "Not his paperwork."
