"Leon"s rooms?" She paused "Any clue where they might be or when the best time to get in is?" Tessa looked as if she really didn't want to hear an answer so Victor gave her none. "Also," She added, seemingly as an after thought "I don't suppose you'd be willing to help me?"
Victor didn't answer her for the longest time, then, he clapped his hands in delight. "Yes! I'd love to help! You girls always do come up with the best ideas!"
"Are-are you serious?" Tessa gasped, her eyes practically popping out of their sockets.
"No. Did you really ask me that knowing betrayal is my middle name?" Victor giggled.
"Fine! I knew it was a long shot! You really are incompetent!" She shouted at him "And your owl is creepy!" With that she stalked off in a huff.
Watching her go, Victor was rather befuddled. He certainly hadn't expected that!
"Wait!" He ran to catch up to her, unsettling the owl from his shoulder. "Waaaait! Slow down."
"WHY?" She exploded. "You're not going to help me, so I have nothing more to say to you!" Her eyes snapped with and intense fire.
Victor was almost entranced by them "You have a temper. Strange."
"What did you say?" She looked at him with murderous intent.
"What I meant was; hell yeah I'll go with you! I love a lady who's got cajones. . .well, figuratively speaking. Anyway, I'll help you out, just follow my lead. I know exactly where Leon's rooms are, I know how to get in, I know what times he's least likely to be in his rooms; though, mind you, he's awfully unpredictable, which is what I love about him I guess." Victor sighed wistfully "Anyway, as long as we keep away from Skylark and Maria--"
"His name's SkyLAR not Lark"
"Whatever, my point still stands, let's keep away from them."
"Why?"
"Because, love, we don't know if Leon can see through SkyLAR and MAYBE SkyLAR has some hold on Maria, which if he does I swear I'll rip him a knew one, and if Skylar is a bug then we don't want him knowing what we're up to. Got it?"
"Why. . .why do you care about Maria so much?" Tessa looked at Victor strangely "She's kind of a jerk."
"I know, that's what I like. She reminds me of the woman I love."
