"Yes, of course... Have a good night,<i>mademoiselle</i>. Sorry to bother you." William said as the woman walked past him. While he couldn't help but worry about her safety, it wasn't his business, apparently. He managed to see that she was afraid, probably not of him, but on the possibility of finding unsavory characters on her way. There was nothing that he could do at the moment though, so William let those thoughts pass and just hoped she'd arrive safely at her destination.<br/><br/>After a couple of minutes letting his adrenaline levels fall and his breathing was normal, William stood up and headed out to his own place. It was a significant distance away, across the Seine, near Les Invalides. The rest of the walk was uneventful, but by the time he was close to his home, he was starting to feel groggy from the need to sleep. And by the time he managed to lie down in bed, the need overcame him, and he fell asleep almost immediately.<br/><br/>By the time he woke up next morning William was covered in cold sweat, he had a nightmare, the same one that he had experienced in the last few years. In the nightmare, he'd be sitting next to Jeanne on a train. Things were good until suddenly, the train goes out of control, and the carriage started to spin around with all of the passengers being launched around, hitting walls and seats. A few seconds into that, he'd see a suitcase travelling at high speed towards him and then he woke up, breathing heavily every single time. It was what happened to Jeanne... but he wasn't with her when he lost her.<br/><br/>It was painful to move, the injuries that he received made almost every movement painful, and the cold of the morning didn't help him at all. He nursed his wounds and cleaned himself before going out to work, with a visible cut near his eyebrow and some visible bruises. While it wasn't the most enteraining job, his work as a telegraphist kept his mind busy as he had to send and receive messages on morse code. It also provided a good steady income, that allowed William to live without having to worry too much about finances. While at work, he recalled that he didn't pay Henri before the altercation on the coffee shop, so he planned on returning to Henri's after work.
