He was so close. Just a little further.
Come on...come on...
His fingertips were outstretched, mere millimeters from the door knob. Royce's eyes were locked onto it, like a mortal looking into the eyes of a God, the doorknob the extension of His hand.
Touch and all will be gold...
It was going to happen! Finally finally fin-
And then the screaming started.
Was that a raindrop?
Shit, no, don't, no...
Royce could hear his mother yelling at him.
YOU SHOULD TELL THOSE PEOPLE IT'S GOING TO RAIN SOON! MAYBE THEY'LL STOP YELLING AND YOUR SISTER CAN SLEEP!
Fuck everything...
Royce sighed. His arms turned to stone and fell to his sides. He puffed his cheeks out. After letting an exasperated sigh go, Royce stood straight, adjusted himself, and went in the direction of the yelling.
Oh, they're down an alley? Not suspicious at all.
Royce gave one more longing glance at the door to the inn.
Soon, my dearest...
Royce approached the alley from the side, and poked his head around the corner.
This is such a stupid idea...
"Hey, uh, excuse me!" Royce's eye flinched. Not at the fact that someone was beaing threatened with a spear, but from the raindrop that fell into his eye. "Maybe you guys, should uh, get inside? It's gonna rain soon!"
Dammit mom...
