Adrian descended the stairs, clad in a black muscle shirt and black loose fit jeans after having taken a shower. He smoothed his short hair over as he walked into the kitchen, past Lydia and Josh, and over to the pool entrance, and checked the sigil he engraved into the tile floor, it remained there, unadulterated. [i]"Good. If someone were to tamper with this, like adding the tiniest of lines, it would fail, but apparently it hasn't been altered. So someone hasn't been through here. Now I need to check the others.[/i]

Just then Benjamin descended the stairs and waltzed right into the kitchen. "Hear, hear!" he said. "Tonight I'll be having a little soirée again. I hope all of you will be able to attend."

"I won't be," said Adrian.

"Why's that?" 

"Because I have training to do," Adrian said as he walked past Benjamin to check on the other sigils.

Benjamin sighed at this, "Well, what about you?" he asked Lydia. "Surely you have some time to have some fun."
