As of late, Blaine hovered around the receptionist desk - after a long time, he finally gained access to the Yard’s archives. He gained permission from the detective chief inspector and didn’t hesitate to lie about his reason to require said access. After sorting through an unorganized mess for hours, of countless folders stockpiled on top of each other, he found the desired records on a certain Bronev Reinel and read through them. 

Oh man, Blaine thought of blackmail and the riveting information that he discovered.

And crimes.

He rode his bicycle to Misthallery, asked the locals around for his ‘uncle’ - more lies - and decided to instigate now, rather than later.

So, Detective Investigator Blaine’s walking up to his private property with a confidently angry strut, then sprints up to the window.

He settled his bag on the floor and went over to pull the curtains shut, blocking out the light from the streetlamp.

"I think you're being a bit dramatic."

There was a slight hint of amusement to his voice, though he obviously wasn't very content with the sleeping arrangements either. However, there was only so much that could be done at this hour.

"It wouldn't be as safe to take separate rooms anyway."

“You could’ve gotten a room with two separate beds. Or a bed and a sofa. Something that wasn’t this. “ 

     It did well to show how comfortable Jean was, that he was fussing like this. His own bag had been placed on the tile floor of the bathroom, and long strides took him to the corner of the mattress, checking for debris in the seam of the piping. Lucky then, that there weren’t bed bugs.

    He let out an exhale, shoulders slumping. 

“Excuse me? You’re not going to slit my throat in my sleep, so there’s nothing to worry about.” 

There’s no way in Hell that he’s rooming with Bronev, but he’s rooming with Bronev. Blaine already spent his hard-earned cash on the hotel room - he’s not uncomfortable sharing it with an acquainted stranger. At the same time, he doesn’t know if he should keep the gloves on or off when asleep.
