The Roman admired the guarded around him, observing the clever lighting the planners had use to highlight certain features. In the daylight it would be even more magnificent.
He was finishing up his taiyaki when he heard the voices, his enhanced hearing picking the conversation up before Laura's human ears could. The Strix kept quiet, listening in on the brewing argument as each step they took brought them closer. Practiced at knowing when humans might begin to hear something, Gaius waited until they were close enough that the voices would sensibly be picked up by human hearing.
“It seems we are not the only late night travellers,” Gaius murmured, quietly amused at the bickering back and forth.
