Unexpected company

[tptb-in-ltsh.livejournal.com]

Date: June 11th, morning
Location: In front of the manor
Status: Public
Summary: Two mystery guests appear.


A car pulled up in front of the manor and swerved neatly into a free parking space. After a moment, the front doors opened, and two men got out. Both were tall and lean, but any semblance between them ended there. Where one of them wore his blonde hair cropped short, the other, a dark-skinned, dark-eyed fellow looking a good fifteen years younger than his fair-complexioned companion, sported an unruly mane of black curls, hardly tamed by a loose tie at the nape of his neck. The former wore the suit to match his well-groomed appearance, the second made do with worn jeans and a sleeveless shirt.

The dark one walked around the car to stand with the driver.

"It's out of the way enough to check, I guess," he mused.

"It's too far," the other replied. "He never could have made it this far."

The dark one snorted. "You've no idea what a man can do if he sets his mind to it."

"Not after I'm through with him," the other told him.

That made his companin grin. "Point being," he said, "you weren't through with him yet or he wouldn've have gotten away. Now let's get going."

They started ambling towards the house.
