This day had been.. unusually busy, Ryan pondered, hands shifting slightly on his back. Watching the shadows grow longer ever so slowly in the garden, he couldn't help but wonder if he would have gotten out of bed if he had known all the going ons this morning.<br/>But, yes.. He would have. Even if it had been just for the stolen time with Atticus. Perhaps to have the conversation again with Anel. Hear Zara play. Welcome an artist into the House.<br/>A sigh escaped him, and he hoped it went unnoticed. He wasn't in his office after all, but in the common room. For once, he actually wanted company, even if he didn't really feel like talking.<br/>He could have lived without kicking a client from the House. For rape, no less. He could have lived without the news Rubee had given him.<br/>Financially, though, the day had been a success, and evening was just about dawning. As most clients worked during the day, the evening was the more busy of times.<br/>He just hoped there wouldn't be any more complications.
