Re: Seven M/Liam R
[That count of thirty might as well be an eternity as the stands there, leaning into the shadows of the doorway and casting out a wary gaze at the surrounding street. He's listening for a sound on the other side of the door, for footsteps, knuckles still pressed against the wood where they finished knocking. And when he actually hears that sound of padding feet coming down the stairs, he can't help the fact that one of his eyebrows arches into a curious angle.
He wasn't really expecting Liam to answer the door, after all. He was half-expecting his welcome to come in the form of a brief text message, an I can't do this or an I'm sorry. So it takes him a second to return the slight smile after Liam swings the door open, and he waits for the length of a heartbeat before he slowly steps through the entrance.]
Hi. [A quick up-and-down, and one corner of his mouth tucks slightly down.] And yet, you haven't even seen me from the back. Is x-ray vision a new perk, too?
