if you're gonna hit me, hit me harder

Gareth had been typing away on his phone, so he hadn't been paying any attention to his surroundings. The aswang figured that people would just step around him if they got in his way, so he grunted quietly with annoyance when someone lightly bumped into him. Moving his gaze away from the phone, the master considered the kid in front of him, pausing when he didn't look familiar. A pity that he was staff because he was damn pretty, not that it had ever stopped Gareth from messing with someone before. "All good. You'd have to hit me harder for me to even feel that." He cocked his head, a small smirk on the aswang's lips. "You're new, aren't you?"

Wyatt was quick to pick up on that the other was neither staff or a slave, the air around him gave away his status among the castle. He wasn't the vampire Wyatt was currently looking for which had him relax just a little. Even if running into him was something he did not desire as he was trying to keep a low profile while he was there. Didn't want to raise too much trouble before he got anywhere with his little plan he'd put together. "That easy to tell, huh?" He said, "Yeah, I'm new, just started the day before." Even though he had a decent hold on his nerves his southern accent still thickened regardless.

Kaden bustled around the suite as he got himself ready for a long shift at work. Uniform, snack, take care of Ares. He was glad that Lucien wasn't around to add to his list of things to do because it'd add at least another ten minutes having to deal with his master making some snide remark about his job. He'd respond, as usual, that he'd been asking the council for more officers and nothing's come of it. Course adding staff to the department wouldn't keep Kaden home any more; the kresnik always had been a workaholic and easily settled back into those habits here in Krovs.

He had to work extra hard to work his way to this particular floor for one person. Finding his suite proved harder than he had thought, but he does manage to find it. He was fully aware that Lucien wasn't there at the moment, from what he gathered during the couple days he's worked that most of them were out when they came along. Probably so they didn't have to see them work or get in their way. Either way it came in handy when he wanted to snoop, and that's what he wanted to do now. Find something to release his dad from the entanglement he had been put in.
