Message: <blockquote data-quote="Festy_Dog" data-source="post: 4096263" data-attributes="member: 2561">Archer leaned against the wall next to the dumpster, looking vaguely irate about the casual disregard for his ideas. This gradually faded to a neutral expression during Beth's banter with the dealer. He raised an eyebrow when Cole chose to join the conversation, but remained silent. He honestly didn't care at this point.Archer leans in close to the dumpster, hugging its shadow. He didn't want the guy to notice a third person in the recent vicinity, way too suspicious, especially if he was hanging back behind the dumpster.[sblock=ooc]<a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1521421/" target="_blank">Archer attempts to hide</a> (spending willpower point).Remind me never to make my own rolls and/or use willpower points. :\ [/sblock]As soon as Archer heard the heartbeat and breathing he regretted moving out in front of the shop. It was quick. He could imagine a couple of possibilities. The occupant was probably alert, experiencing a heightened level of affect, and trying to conceal their presence, something not normally required while out of sight and behind a layer of storefront glass, unless they were expecting someone to be able to detect them through it. The alternative could be that the person was dying, what with the shallow breathing, but that would probably be accompanied by a slowed heart rate rather than an accelerated one. His first suspicion was probably the correct one.Made, she said. As though she was fabricated, or produced. A vampire created in a lab. An ambiguous statement. Amusing, interesting. Archer maintained his neutral expression and didn't reply, but nodded once to show that he was paying attention. It was intentional that he didn't warn Beth about the hidden store occupant.While listening he meandered over to the storefront windows, looking at what was on display behind them. He was already out in the open, he might as well make the most of it. Extracting the wrapped roots from his pocket he compared them to what was on display inside. Or at least, he looked like he was. It was a thin veil of an excuse to look for whoever was hiding inside.</blockquote>
