Chapter 98: Fallon - Taste in Men, Part 4
After a shower, Fallon hid in the bathroom to be alone. He leaned against the tiled wall, eyes closed. He concentrated on each coven in turn, imagining the way they looked, and searching for scenes of unpacking or of claiming a house. He saw a short scene of the second coven unwrapping glassware, and the leader of the third drinking from a mortal in the middle of the living room, but there was nothing in either to give a definitive date. All he'd learned was that the second coven had a well-stocked kitchen, and the third had taken the house from pre-existing mortals, meaning that unless they'd filed a change of ownership, chances were their property records would be useless.
With a grunt of displeasure, he dressed, then reported to Griselda. He expected reprimand, but she took it in stride with a breezy, "Try again tomorrow. It's late now," before she headed down the stairs to the basement and bedtime.
