the offices are airily quiet. yuhua doesn't care for how or why it's so, only that it bothers her, slightly, that the moon is so clear and tranquil; that there are enough too clean windows for its false light to bury the corridors, smother the desks.
in the middle of a corridor, she takes off her shoes to feel the decadent marble beneath; holds them both in one hand. she navigates through the silver sea seamlessly, arriving at the sole torch beaming through a small glass window attached onto an office door. the door is smooth, her palm lies flat; it has false character.
she knocks three times, separates each one with a half pause.

the moon's out, it's past work hours—how late he doesn't care to check. the triad of knocks echoes loud and deep through the high-ceilinged room, over the lulling scritch of pen tip on paper. his hand stills; wilmer doesn't look up at the interruption, only frowns at a half-written sentence.
"come in," he calls, finally, tracing a tiny pentacle on a nearby sheet of paper. his visitor can't be a coworker, they've long left; isn't one of his djinn, they wouldn't bother knocking.

she twists the handle with as much elegance as any could muster, and walks in neatly; doesn't even take a moment to survey the room. they're not important, and she's not interested; he's not interesting, that much one doesn't even need to take a glance to know. (she was told beforehand.)
she sits her shoes neatly next to the door, and returns to gaze at his direction blankly.

the pen bleeds out the curling hook of the last sigil just as the door opens. he sets it down and raises his head to look at the visitor. the white-haired woman is beautiful, that much wilmer can tell with a clinical once-over, but arouses a rippling irritation and nothing more.
"your business?" the air is stagnant.

she stares vacantly; evidently, he was not told. she dislikes anything that makes her job harder, but she is paid handsomely. she can't deny the strings of obligation; she thinks of the stacks of bills, and how pointless it all is.
"you." perhaps that won't be enough; his head looks as penetrable as solid blocks of cement.
"i am to serve you... for the night." that's as plain as she'll go. she takes a deep breath. her pride is in the truth, but she also stumbles over it.

the corners of his lips twitch down, barely. wilmer returns the stare with a look just as frigid. "that won't be necessary, thank you."
his intonation drops on the "thank you" to indicate her presence is unneeded and unwanted. he isn't grateful, just annoyed. the thought occurs that his coworkers might've been responsible in sending the woman—as a joke or something else. he judges her anew and thinks, so what?

she presses her hands flat on his desk and peers at him, narrowing her eyes.
"it is always your policy to make other people's lives more difficult, mr cook?" under her otherwise toneless recital lies a buried, dry, scorn. she shakes her head; they are surely, millimetres apart now. "i thought you'd at least be... of understanding sorts."
under her fingers, she crumples the edges of documents, cares little for consequence. it's the little things that matter, it's the little things that say there's a human still there, only trapped.

"is it yours to be a nuisance?" he holds her gaze and listens to paper crinkle. it grates the strands of his patience, untuned and unraveling strings.
"hands off the table." something dangerous, something sour's slipped into his tone. it's as much a warning as a command.
