Oh dear - so suggestible just saw a Hollander bodyguard au get talked about and here we are…
"Ilya Rozanov?"
His name refocuses his attention. Makes him aware that he hasn't been paying attention in the first place which is reckless. He should know better by now but he hasn't learnt.
Even three broken ribs a fractured collar bone and a flesh wound hadn't knocked that into him. Like they say he's a hopeless cause
Still the man doesn't look particularly dangerous. He's actually extremely handsome dark hair dark eyes, not exactly smiling but not not smiling either. There's a look in his eyes Ilya couldn't name yet but might be able soon.
"Shane Hollander."
The name sounds slightly familiar. The man holds out a hand, obviously an introduction, Ilya at least has the sense to check his surroundings before accepting it.
Did he get an email about a Shane Hollander? He might have, hard to keep track. Too busy too drunk too tired.
"You know for a man in your position you really shouldn't be alone in an alley smoking."
A shrug and pout seem sufficient but he adds "Ok." anyway to be polite.
He's only slightly on edge, it's all probably fine isn't it? The man, Hollander doesn't feel like a threat. He is strong through, you can see that underneath his jacket. The other thing he can see is the outline of a holster
Fuck.
This Hollander is right he really shouldn't be alone in an alley with a man carrying a concealed weapon- even if he does have the most stunning freckles Ilya has ever seen.
