Today is like most days. I'm hung over, I feel ill without drugs, and Ridley has left me to my devices after serving me my first meal of the day. Sitting at my desk in one of my apartments in The Mists I spoon my favorite, Dagger Soup, eating as I start to look over any paperwork and documents on my desk. Trash, all of it as usual as I take a maligned effort to sorting through the waste. A couple of statements from my businesses - marker in their own unique envelopes only I use. Guaranteed profits, though lately not as large. No matter how small the profit is, as long as I earn positively I am happy.
With a lackadaisical raise of my eyebrows as I rightfully judge the stack of envelopes and missives to be waste - I trash all of them, including reports of any profit. I just need my breakfast in me so I can take my Sugar and get on with my day.
Ridley, however, has already planned a part of my day for me. As I am finishing my bowl I notice an already opened envelope peeking out from under my clock that sits on the right of my desk. Pushing my bowl aside with a tsk of my cheek I pull the letter from the white envelope with furled brows as I read it over entirely. I set it down at first without a second thought as I finish my meal and rise to get dressed.
Returning to my desk as I cinch my bow-tie tight, I regard the letter once more. Instead of my typical pink suits, lately I have taken to only wearing dark and 'serious' colors. Typically I only reserve dampened colored suits for legitimately serious business but I can't be assed to care right now. I still look good, regardless of color though.
Recalling the written words "if it pleases you" I shrug after a moments consideration - taking the letter and folding it into an inner coat pocket before buttoning up and heading out to take an Airship ride to Ul'Dah to meet his...student.
The past few weeks I have avoided Ul'Dah as best I can. The city is largely forlorn to me, I've lost all interest in it's happenings, its people, and anything that doesn't include my business. I almost despise it, with an arrogant demeanor and I've taken notice of my shift in attitude. Either way...
Otto steps from the airship after it's finished its landing approach. Stepping out he takes a deep breath with an equal sigh as he begins to walk over to the small bar and restaurant. He gives an almost sheepish nod with pursed lips and non-gladdened eyes to the bartender, holding up his fingers for his typical order, this time doubled for his awaiting guest - all of this takes place wordlessly and he would be glad for it. He rounds the corner as spots Evangeline and puts it all behind him as he applies his affable smile and greets her. No one can see him in any other state, under any circumstance.
"Hello Eva."
