Vlad walked down his hallway, exhausted. He had already hung his suit jacket up, and was unbuttoning his cuffs, rolling his sleeves up his arms. He'd had a long day, and all he wanted to do was lay down for a few moments. His room was at the end of the hall, and all he could focus on was his large, fluffy bed.
He passed by a hall table, dropping his cuff links on the polished surface, when he felt a light tap on his ankle. He looked down in surprise, watching as Maddie emerged from her hiding spot and bolted down the hallway. She paused for a moment, looking behind her to make sure he was going to follow.
If Maddie wanted to play tag, he thought with a smile as he transformed to fly after her, there would be no harm in indulging her.
