Oct. 20th, 2016 07:42 pmSin rushes home to shower and change his clothes, texting Athelstan as he goes.
Sorry, long night at school. I'm on my way to you now. <3 Sin
He looks at himself in the mirror, noting the bags under his eyes. He hesitates a moment before grabbing a bag out from under his sink. He hasn't worn make-up in a while but he still has some stashed somewhere. He manages to find some concealer, using just enough to tidy himself up.
Dressing a clean outfit, rather more casual than normal seeing Athelstan won't care what he wears, he dashes downstairs, a slice of toast between his teeth as he pulls his jacket on.
A quick bus across town and he's standing outside Athelstan's building, tapping the buzzer lightly.

"That could be a safe first step. With other people around, and all."
