At some point in the night Ram had gotten into bed, still fully clothed, eyes bleary from staring at the computer screen too long. There hadn't been anyone to go to bed with, hadn't been anyone to suggest bed to him. When he woke up his neck was a little stiff, and there was a little puddle of drool on his pillow. He swiped his hand across his mouth, glancing around, still groggy. No, no sign of Java. There was a deep throbbing pain in his chest and he worried that maybe something was seriously wrong with him. What if he ever became seriously ill, would anyone even come to check on him?
Climbing slowly out of one side of the bed, he had a creased brow. His mood was completely foul, and wasn't very likely to improve. All he had for breakfast was the leftover rice that he'd made last night, which he didn't even bother to re-heat. Nor was he in the mood to shower, although he did do his hair and touch-up his face paint. It wouldn't do for the Lord Ram to go about looking like a complete slob.
If things went well today at the mall he had hopes of moving back to the hotel again. Then he could have more troops around, and it would be easier to get more recruits, as well as get back some more of his loyal troops who were currently in hiding. There were so many plans in his head that he couldn't help but get a little excited. One day he would exact revenge upon those who had betrayed him, until then he would bide his time and take back all that which was rightfully his, piece by piece if he had to.
