Lee thanked the gods of all creations he was above ground again and away from that awful stench of the underground. "Well, yes, I supposed you would've had to choose based heavily on that particular strength. How temporary is temporary?" He had no desire what-so-ever to make any recurring contract to be delivered to that 'address'. "I'm going to suggest by the pint. It'll be the easiest to fill and move discretely as a lot of medicines come that way. That's how it'll be labeled and packed; as medicine. Dr. Altamaha's Humors."<br/><br/>He stepped out alongside McClery and looked to the man trying to gauge him. It was a useless endeavor as always with the vampires placid pale skin and ever unenthused expression. "We're pretty close, yeah and I can walk myself. The offer is thoughtful, I guess, but not necessary unless you wanted to entertain me privately." He almost winked as it was a joke, but he left the comment hang with the appropriate amount of whimsical innuendo. He then waved a casual hand. "No, I have a lot to get together for this deal and the sooner it's done, the better. Let's get together tomorrow night. You promised me hours and hours of conversation and I think there's a lot we can still talk about. I'll just stop by after sundown." He reached up and tipped his hat lightly. "Have a good night, Andrew."<br/><br/>He stepped off the curb stuffing his hands in his pockets and whistled down the dark street. He'd left his books back at McClery's but that was no worry; once he'd gotten home he had to make sure he was ready for his meeting with the coroner the next day and that the bottles he'd ordered where ready. Rush order items always had to be followed up on lest one ended up with nothing but excuses from the vendor. When he reached the boarding house he gave Sallie a smile.<br/><br/>"You are keeping the desk late, dear. I hope you hadn't cause to be waiting for me? I should have mentioned I'd be out late." He greeted and paused long enough for a short exchange.<br/><br/>"Oh no, Mr. Wilde, I've just been sorting some notes and tidying up the ledgers. I was want for sleep so it seemed the best way to bore myself back to tiredness." She laughed lightly. "Have a good night! Oh! Will you be out late again tomorrow night late? I'll send you off with an entry key if so. That way ..."<br/><br/>"...You don't need to be awake." He smiled apologetically. "I'm so sorry Miss Clair. I hadn't even thought about...well, I just wasn't thinking. I will be out late. My clients are working on projects outside of their usual daily responsibilities. A key would be very thoughtful of you."<br/><br/>"Think nothing of it, Mr. Wilde. Since it seems you'll be staying with us for a bit, it only seemed reasonable. Have a good night."<br/><br/>Sallie set her ledgers aside and retired to the back of the house while Lee retired up stairs. He stripped and washed up and bagged the suit he had been wearing. He doubted any amount of cleanser would get the smell from the fibers of his clothes, but that specific suit would be the only one he wore to the deliveries he was bound to make. He made short work of getting ready for bed and reclined against his pillow for some evening reading and note taking until he was fast asleep.<br/><br/>Sallie, however, did no such thing. She had the message boy there and ready to send off to Apollo with a note saying that Mr. Wilde had returned and would be out late again the following evening. He was most welcome to come by at any time.
