[EP] Frustration of a Caged Animal - OTA

[st_x5_494]

It was Max's fault, really. She had shown him what freedom looked like back home in Seattle and he had gotten used to not having to follow orders or be stuck within the confines of a complex like this. Had she just left well enough alone, he might have at least been okay with the routine here.

Deciding he needed a snack, he walked over to the vending machine filled with chocolate bars and chips and inserted a coin. Nothing happened. He pressed the retrieve button and still, nothing. He gently shook the machine and still nothing. Frustrated, Alec turned to drive his elbow into the glass to break it. Extreme? Maybe. But he was sure it would be satisfying too.

Corbie brightened. "Thank angels and saints for that, or I'd never get to learn anything."

"I can't really help you out in that department." He had no magic. "But you ever need help, let me know."

Corbie reached up to pat his cheek. "If ever Lillith teaches me to turn someone into a cat, I'll come straight to you."

"Only if you promise to pet me." He winked back.

Then he bent down to pick up the bucket of glass. "...I guess I'll go find a place to throw this out."

"I promise," Corbie assured him.

"Thanks for the candy," she said, turning to go stash it somewhere in her room.
