Elias sat deep in the sofa, his head nestled against the cushions, arms folded across his chest. Across from him, Damien was comfortably perched, brainstorming their way forward. Behind him, near the door, was Elias' and Asha's discarded bags. Moved again. Elias told Tony he had his own place. Asha all but moved out of that scummy apartment. For one night, one night, Elias found comfort. There was a sort of peace within the victorianesque home Manix built in his compound. The feeling was reminiscent of his time in Wellington. Sitting on the beach and studying for bio exams felt like a lifetime ago. All gone again. "Serves me right,"
he mumbled to Asha when they boarded the train.
His foot tapped, flaking bits of dried mud and dirt into the carpet from his boot. That beast was still out there. Elias could feel it heckling him, taunting him. It's prize beckoned. "We need another ship is all."
He shrugged. Mexico wasn't exactly a renown naval power. Did the country even have ships? "And a kickass trained crew. And weapons. And map systems. And coordinates. And..."
he bit his tongue then, chewed on the inside of his cheek. "So that should be easy, since the mighty lord of Mexico proclaims it so."
Elias shook his head with mock reverence.
But he was just irritated. The loss of the deal stung. Not to mention the training he was missing now. It meant one thing. He had to duel with Damien if he wanted to practice. Something he very much did not want to do.
