WHO: Boss Vargas and his loyal Vassal
WHEN: August 17th, Tuesday Evening
WHERE: The Vargas Mansion
WHAT: He'd tried so not to give in, told himself this (business) affair would never go well...
RATING: R (for Roma)
(
'Don't you know, you Fool, you can never win?' )
He could be told repeatedly, over and over, that his repentance wasn't necessary but Raivis, always, gave it regardless. For a while, his attempts to keep the overabundant pleas minimized had been surprisingly successful. He'd been happy, confident that he could, in fact, live and let go.
Until the structural supports buoying him had been smashed in with yet another sledgehammer. The dawn of more conflict was fast approaching, he could feel it, and what would happen after that- if the sound effects would get worse, more frequent, if the music following him got louder, if something else strange would rocket into his life- Raivis dreaded.
It made him look at Roma anew. Shakily reach out and touch the weathered, tanned skin of the man's hand curled around glass. A warm hand. A real one. "E-ever since that incident in April, I-I guess I've just been... m-more on edge than I thought."
The contact was withdrawn and Raivis swiped at his eyes. "I j-just want to do my best for you, Sir. For everyone. W-who is still here anyway. We've been losing q-quite a few members of the staff lately..."
