110 Discussions and Decisions

-Sylvester-

Our discussion lingered in the Lounge, and Erik told us much about his past.

The man was easygoing, and he only cared about science and progress. He was also a very jovial and funny man.

Uncle Lucas seemed wary of him, but it was normal.

The Volkovs had wronged the Stepanovs gravely. What were the odds that he was really on our side? But I knew he was. He did not seem aggrieved, and the solution Leo had offered him had indeed appeased him. He was also vocal about it.

Erik stared at Lucas a bit and then smiled. We had thought he would go off on him, but he had taken it easy.

"My eyes react badly to contact lenses, and because of that, I do not come out in the daytime because my eye's colour is a dead giveaway. Out of desperation, I tried to do something that would be more permanent.

Though risky, it was successful. I haven't been able to do it to the other eye, " he said, blinking a few times, imitating a pretty lady, making us all laugh.
