<strong>Victor Orestes, working with Tom</strong><br/><br/>Victor was quite surprised to suddenly have a hand on his shoulder. He had been focused on what he was doing and hadn’t really expected Tom to return so quickly. But now he was back and Victor had to confess to himself that he was thankful for it as he was not sure this was the place for him, at least not the position of standing behind the desk. Off to the side he could avoid the anger and impatience of the customers but being the one behind the desk seemed to dictate him as the target for all their anger, not that there had been much but he could only imagine what would happen if people had been upset that Tom was not there to meet them.<br/><br/>Offering a smile to Tom, he nodded, seeing that what had been spoken was merely a comment on his performance and not really a compliment. He could handle that as he was not really used to get complimented for doing the job that he was suppose to do. Yes he knew this was not his job but surely Tom had meant for him to step in at least that was what Victor had hoped. Hearing the mention of a room he was hopeful that that meant he would be allowed to slip away for a bit. Lilith had been playing at the back of his mind while he worked and he wondered what she was up to. Truly it was not his place to wonder such things but he had been so intrigued by her that he couldn’t shake her from his thoughts, even while he was working. Besides if Tom could get serviced at the desk he didn’t see any reason why he couldn’t wonder about one of the customers and hope to go see them.<br/><br/>“Yes sir, I would appreciate a room though I am fine sleeping wherever you dictate. Not really one to complain as I have slept in all manner of places over my young years.” He shrugged and glanced at Tom for a moment. “Also would it be too bold to ask for a break from the desk. I was wondering if I might slip away to the playground for a bit as Lilith had requested that we continue our conversation when I had the chance. If I am needed then I will remain at my post, merely wanted to ask.”<br/>
