Dark eyes continue to rove over the room, searching within the shadows of the luxury sweet, fingers carefully plucking at any gold or gem to be found, careful to ignore anything silver as he works with methodical ease- this evidently not the first time he has been given to perform such a task, someone evidently having taken to time to tutor him in such things as he pockets anything of momentary value. He himself, perhaps, holds little understanding as to they 'why' of his work, knowing only that such things are sure to be appreciated, after all, Lucian had never turned them down before, the man offering cash for most and indeed it is the money he needs- if only to give to Nadya. He does not understand what his pack mate does with it, more so he has simply come to know she needs it and as such is determined to get it for her, the woman providing him with food in return. Pretty's inclusion in this escapade little more than chance and opportunity, his attention turned towards her once more as she reaches to open the fridge pulling out the wrapped beef as he merely stares towards her, unable to understand the word 'jackpot' pointing abruptly to the packet she holds in her hands.
"Not...jackpot. Beef."
Clearly Pretty has failed to understand what she holds in her hands, the boy content to inform her otherwise as he returns to his task, moving to open draws and cupboard as he does, the room yielding far more than he had been given to expect, delight evidently present upon his features as lashings of black hair tangle with his gaze and fall into his equally dark eyes, her next question seeing him halt once more to regard her with that same child-like innocence he does in all things, attempting to perceive what exactly is being asked of him as he regards her, fingers brushing over the necklace in his hands.
"I give to....Lucian....he gives me....the green....paper.....I give to Naddy. Naddy says....we need it."
That he keeps none of what he takes is clearly evident, this act seeming almost...selfless to an extent, the boys desire to please so very assured in these moments and yet, despite the seemingly selfless nature of such an act the boys own ideals are very much assured, Nadya having taken over the job of feeding him, the young man having no desire to lose his pack mate- at least, not until he can find Tetra once more and return to his job, the same job he has held since he had barely been old enough to walk. The necklace is tucked readily into his pocket as he moves to stride from the thoroughly robbed room, pausing momentarily as if he seems to consider Pretty's roast beef meal. Lucian however, has never given him money for food before and as such the boy is inclined to believe in this, it holds little value.
"C'mon Pretty."
He calls for her in much the same manner one calls for a loyal dog, clearly still determined to hold some belief that the women, may in fact, be his pet, despite having promised not to bestow her with such a moniker. He pauses again within the doorway, head peering out into the hallway, searching for any sign of any other, prepared to step out when the elevator before him moves to open, doors parting suddenly to release a rather hassled looking waiter wheeling a silver trolley, the man bustling straight forward and into the room as Tobias stumbles hurriedly backwards until he remains very near pressed up against Pretty, the girl dressed in utterly nothing, Tobias having managed to retain his threadbare jeans and little else as the waiter seems to suddenly realise his predicament, the man hurriedly looking away, evidently of the belief he has walked in upon a clearly private moment before gesturing to the platter before him.
Mr and Mrs Atkins, I have the lunch you requested.
Room service is evidently not a luxury the boy has ever been afforded, continuing to blink vaguely at the man whom still attempts to look in every direction but the couple in front of him, hardly waiting for approval before moving to place the meal down on a nearby table, dishing out the Greek and Feta salad into two even bowls, placing the dish of caviar beside it, along with a rather expensive bottle of wine and glasses, turning now to look towards the utterly confused Tobias once more, one hand held out, evidently expecting some form of tip, the gesture met with little more than a scowl of confusion form the shaggy-haired deviant before he moves to abruptly slap the waiters hand with his own. It would appear that the Leopard is of the belief the other man desires a high five of sorts, the waiter scowling now before he moves to hurry from the room, slamming the door behind him as Tobias turns his attention to the lunch they have been given- eyeing the salad with clear suspicion, one long finger moving to search through it. That it lacks meat entirely seems to displease him immensely, gaze shifting once more to Pretty.
"I will trade you my......grass and leaves for......your meat."
How generous. That the woman's salad is no meatier then his own has clearly escaped his notice, along with the fact the real Mr and Mrs Atkins may only be moments from arriving, his attention turned now to the caviar.
"What is...that?"
your gunna hear me roar
