He shook his head, returning to the room to get the cup with the straw in it. Galvin sipped down the water before realizing he had not seen the rest of this apartment before. "You,... sounded mad, last time."

following the other he watched as galvin drank the contents of a glass cup, he assumed either water or something laced with painkillers. "when was this? i am often mad at you. you are a fucking idiot and dangerous"

"The park...after." He pointed to his neck and pulled down the cloth showing the gash on his skin. "The second time." His eyes traveled around the apartment. He started to count on his fingers how many houses that meant and wondered what color this one was. Taking a deep breath he ventured forth and sat on a chair near Ambrosia.

he felt a little angry when he recalled what the man was referring to but had no wish to fight. "i only count marks left on my body. you should be in bed frellum may be a worm but he is a very apt doctor"

He laid his head on the arm of the sofa, shaking it lightly. He didn't want to sleep again until he saw his dog. Galvin blinked watching Ambrosia, till the man was starting to fall out of focus. "Do you.. keep any food?"

he snorted but it was cut short from pain. "this is not a place for eating. i will order you something. what sort of soup or broth or drink will you eat?"

Galvin didn't have the energy to give a witty come back. Instead he snorted but even that seemed to cause him some displeasure. "Chicken please." He took another sip of the water, and realize the irony, he had the other alone and could ask as many questions as he pleased but could not speak. He laughed twisting his head, raising it off its plush resting spot. Galvin decided to give himself a tour of the apartment fancying it much more then the silver one.

obligingly he called to have food made and brought to the skyscraper and was even kind enough to have them get a hold of the doctor to find out what kind. hanging up he followed behind the man taking a mental note of how the other looked at the place

He walked to the large windows, this place seemed to be bathed in wonderful views of the city. He touched one of the glass panes before folding his feet underneath him in a yoga knot. "I like brown... more than silver." He said wondering if the other could hear his low raspery voice.

coming closer he asked the man to speak up and hearing the repeated comment he smiled. "would you like to live here then?"

Galvin turned his head and a cry of pain escaped his lips. He looked at Ambrosia with curious, glaring grey eyes. It dawned on him that perhaps this is what Cirro was talking about. "Why?"

that was the easiest question the man had asked so far. "mutual convenience, i will know where you are and you will have what you want, and without cost to you. it seems fair, no?"

There was a trap some place, he knew it. The man had already attempted to kill him twice and now there would be no way of stopping him as he slept. He involuntarily shook. And what would his parents and brother say. He answered the man with silence as he tried to wrestle with the choice. Luckily he did not have to answer as the apartment was filled with the sounds of barking. Galvin grinned as his dog tugged the poor doctor across the room. He welcomed the beast with loving arms and tummy scratches.

his answer was delayed when the damnable dog came into the apartment though he did not get angry, with the animal there to improve the man's mood he was more likely to get a favorable answer. "i can have someone come look after your dog when you are away, dogs are herd animals correct?"

His dog twisted in his lap, and Galvin realized he would not want to leave the care of his best friend in the hands of Ambrosia. He was saved from having to speak by the doctor. The mousy man had disappeared and returned with a straw in a cup filled with chicken soup.

he was growing impatient with the doctor and with a small nod dismissed the other. he wanted an answer and he wanted one soon. "if you would like i can give you a few minutes to think about it. this is a big decision"
