Bez hadn't spoken much since Alec said it was okay to join him on the repair end of the deal. Again, it was odd to Bez that the couple wasn't hope but, then again, who liked having a repair man over when you were to be home, alone. Often ruined the night. Besides, it's not like they foresaw this rain. Odds were, the gutters were overflowing and causing interference somewhere. Power outage was possible too, for the lights did fall black, which left the two standing in the murky light of the moon, which was hardly enough to see in as the clouds blocked it out.
This man had height and easily maneuvered over the fence. Bez, using his training, easily kicked and flipped his way to the top and right on over. Mud splashed up and coated him more than he expected. Forehead down to his nose painted black with the dark mud, Bez cleaned just enough away to see with his eyes.
Splashing after Alec, the raven only raised his brow once when the man spoke aloud. Clearly this dude didn't think Bez could hear him, right? It was pouring out and the wind was just loud enough to make hearing impossible, especially with him being upwind instead of down.
Now at the front door, Bez cocked a brow. Servant's door? It was getting awfully creepy, and fast.
"I feel like we're in a horror film. We're the poor unsuspecting bastards that die as heroes." His expression lightened some, though it was hardly noticeable. "Shall we pretend we're saving a fair maiden from a ruthless, child ghost who was wrongly murdered and now haunts this eerie mansion?"
It truly was an odd thing to say, but it reminded Bez of all those horror movies he loved to watch. Not to mention, inwardly, Bez was questioning whether Alec was really a man of if he were a vampire. Though the realization that he worked during the day disproved that. Guess he's human, Bez joked to himself.
"Sorry," he rubbed his neck. "I've been on a horror movie spree lately. Zombies were before that."
