Andrew poked at the remains of his breakfast, his mind vaguely humming with the thoughts that plagued him so. He had guessed Irene would have moved to some place or other with someone, in order to initiate her into the guild properly, and that the most plausible course of action for him to take was to go out hunting for a while. Being idle was no activity to pass the time, and held little in the way of being productive. However, upon attempting to exit the building, an emotionless call of "Mr Johnson" alerted him to the secretary wishing for his presence, and he walked back to the desk with due haste.
"Is something wrong?"
"Yes. You attempted to leave the premises without your partner. New hunters must always be accompanied by the guardian assigned. It's one of the few rules we officially have, try not to break it."
"And who, my I ask, IS my partner?"
"Miss Waters."
Michael, you sonofa-
"Is that so? What do you propose I do now?"
"Attend to her while she is tested."
"Why?"
"Because you have been assigned to h-"
"Just tell my brother to mind his own business. Give her Hunt, for all I care."
He did care about Irene's welfare though, mostly because she was the only person who had said she believed him - the drunken rambling comforted him, even if it was likely false. That aside, he didn't want to allow his nemesis the satisfaction of victory.
