Television Show Based Drabbles Challenge: Not what they seem
Word of the Day 100 Challenge: Itinerant


First Impressions

by Red Wolf

From a distance they looked like businessmen; suited, professional, with an air of purpose.

At a closer glance you'd probably mistake them for itinerant double glazing salesmen from a slightly down at heel company. Their clothing wasn't so much scruffy as well worn, it had definitely seen better days.

Purposeful mannerisms held more than a hint menace. Their interpersonal skills also left something to be desired. While it was true that Mr Croup had talked a target to death on one memorable occasion, witty repartee wasn't one of Mr Vandemar's strong points, those tended to be shiny and extremely sharp.
