Meanwhile:

Twombley, or Mr Robertson as he was generally called by those that didn't know him too well; Tommy-boy by those that probably knew him a bit _too well;_ was working diligently on his latest project, in his dank basement with his tools laid-out neatly on the workbench, stooped over his masterpiece in the dim light as he heard someone fumbling with the locks upstairs.

He heard the door open, but just needed a few more critical seconds to work. If he was quiet, maybe they'd check the basement last...

As he heard the footsteps fade into the distance to check the upper rooms, calling his name as it went. That thinly-vieled politeness of a hitman trying to lure their targets out of hiding always seemed to achieve the exact opposite effect. He fought the urge to run from his hiding-place, working was quieter, finishing this project may be the only thing that could save him at this point...

Then he heard the steps coming down the stairs. Slow, cautious. Sebastian knew better than to rush through his house or risk being blindsided around any of the next corners, especially since he knew he was drawing close.

[color=f26522]"Twombly Robertson. Miss Khalil would like to see you now."[/color] The tiger said, sounding a bit annoyed at being sent on this errand just because Aerin's date couldn't be bothered to watch the time whenever he worked, but also being thankful to be out and actually doing something non-criminal today, [color=f26522]"What are you working on this time?"[/color] Sebastian asked, his curiosity finally getting to him.

In the dim light, Twombly held up a fistful of streamers, all brightly colored, on the ends of each streamer dangled an obscenely sharp blade, throwing-daggers. [color=ed145b]"I figured out a way to ensure her daggers always landed point-first on her targets. The ribbons also tuck neatly into their own scabboards."[/color]

Sebastan sighed, hoping this little project would be enough to please Aerin despite his tardiness, for both their sakes; as he escorted him out to a black SUV waiting outside.
