DANGEROUS GLINT

BACK at his hotel room, after changing clothes and removing make-up, the first thing Astrid did was to call Wulfric. Unlike usual, the call didn't go through immediately. His first thought was the other was probably busy. He was thinking of just calling later when the call connected and Wulfric's handsome face appeared on the screen.

Astrid was startled when he saw Wulfric's current state. 

The other's white hair was completely disheveled, as if he rolled on the ground or something. But more importantly, there were splashes of something red on his face. Astrid didn't think that it was paint. That didn't even cross his mind. The first thing that did was only one thing.

Blood.
