Chapter 30 No Coincidence

• ~Alaric~
• The study is in a peaceful silence, save for the occasional sound of Cedric tapping on the arm of the chair he sits on, across the desk from where I sit. It has already been a good few minutes since he came into my study and Cedric is yet to say a word, though I can tell he has a lot to say.
• The file on my desk has my full attention, and it seems to further agitate Cedric that I have not paid him any attention since he arrived. Knowing Cedric as long as I have, I can tell but I do not acknowledge it, nor plan to.
