Oh, of course it should be, but Lotte sounded as if she knew that just because something should be a certain way didn't always mean it was. The road to hell, after all, is paved with good intentions. It was how people justified themselves and what they really were, with their protestations of 'I meant well' and 'It wasn't supposed to happen like that.' If she wasn't going to pursue the topic, however, neither was he.
Part of the reason their watch had been going so well probably had something to do with the fact that he was part of it rather than lurking about in the shadows, but it seemed that was going to have to come to an end. He wasn't sure how he was supposed to mentor Lotte now, and his only hope was that he could either slip into 1207 or 1205 unnoticed... or that he could somehow throw his voice enough for her to hear it from a floor above. "I don't think anyone would complain... there wasn't a strict set of rules that we had to follow or anything." Oh, he would have liked to see anyone try to complain, especially about Lotte. "The lobby is a good place to stay, since you're right - anyone who was looking to get away would have to go out the front doors, and it's probably better to have all the floors above us."
Bran almost wanted to wince at how logical he sounded, and it seemed that even though he didn't agree with this watch in the first place, he had no choice but to become a part of it. "To the lobby, then?" He started towards the stairs, half-turned towards her for confirmation.
