Caspian was so focused on figuring out how to unlock the secret compartment that he didn't realize he was no longer alone in the room until someone spoke right beside him.
"What are you doing?"
Caspian was certain his heart shut down completely at the sound of someone else, somehow managing not to freak out and pull out his gun on them.
He clutched a hand to his chest, slowly getting to his feet to look up at Noah.
He supposed he should be relieved that it hadn't been Luna Tammy or Alpha Warren, but he wasn't.
He barely saw those two, but the scars that Noah had left on him ran deep.
"I was admiring Luna Tammy's vanity, it's really lovely." He bullshitted, breathless from nerves.
The suspicion in Noah's eyes cleared at that, "She's always going on about that shelf." He scoffed. "I don't know what she sees in it, it's old and chipped."
Caspian said nothing to that, relieved and a little baffled that he had bought that.
