Chapter 18 - A Moment After Chaos
Lynan trudged up to the small spare bathroom in the corner of the mansion.
It was his favorite, away from all the other people and usually unoccupied.
He had been directed there and apparently, someone would come up with a towel and some clean clothes for him to change in to.
One of the mansion’s staff members had given him a plastic bag to put his soiled suit into and they would take care of cleaning it.
Heaving a sigh, he entered the bathroom, shutting the door behind himself and letting out another deep breath as he stripped off his suit.

I told you.”“Look, I don't have a death wish like the rest of you so just give me the money shot so I can leave you to it.

It was the day before the second Scarlet Rose Ceremonyand Lynanwas making himself a late breakfast.He just felt like eating something warm and filling today. His coffee sat on the bench behind him along with half of his meal that he had cooked so far.Taylorwalked in and Lynanrefused to acknowledge the man.“Katz, pass me my juice.”Lynan’s eyebrow twitched at the whiny tone and lack of manners. “Get it yourself.”“You'll get snippy at me for walking into the kitchenand end up getting something broken again. It's by the door.”“Fine. Whatever.”Lynanturned and pulled out the juice, sliding it over to the bitchy manager and huffed as the man took it wordlessly. Not even a thanks.

He shifted slightly to look to the other side of the couch and blinked at a worried looking Kosh.“Lynan, how are you feeling?”He looked up to his friend before snuggling back down and closing his eyes again as a slender hand ran through his hair gently.“Like crap,” he mumbled.Lievlaughed. “The others are making you some soup so you can sleep for a while longer.

The girls had helped Lynanget ready again and had been giggling over his nervousness. He wasn't sure why they found it so damn funny but they couldn't contain themselves. Stelleeven went so far as to call him ‘oblivious’ but that didn't help him figure out what he was missingout on. He noticed that they seemed to be another person short this evening, one of the girls was missing and gossip was flying around. “Don't look so worried,” Lievpatted his shoulder. “You of all people should not be worried.” Lynanshot him a confused look, earning himself an amused half smile. “Don't underestimate yourself so much,”one final pat to the shoulder,then the man moved away to take up his spot so Lynannervously took his own as Koshwalked into the room
