Donovan would look over at the stairwell and see Laz in all his grogginess. He could help but laugh at the state of his appearance. This was a classic Laz moment, and he had seen it so many times over that he started to actually lose count.
He was also sure that Elain had also started to do the same as well. But he couldn't exactly put a finger on it. Elain was always cheery and happy, and never really showed any other emotion.
Yeah, Donovan found it annoying at times and would grumble about it under his breath, but that's how she was. He couldn't tell her to not do it, because she'd just end up doing it anyway...
Just like someone else he knew so well. Wonder where she got that from...

Donovan would watch Vhal and Laz have what looked like a semi-heated exchange. Yet there was tension in it, and it could be cut with a butter knife. Whatever you wanted to call this little conversation they were having, Donovan was finding it as a form of entertainment.
But it was only a matter of time before he started to get dragged in the middle, or at least he would hope that he wouldn't get dragged into a firestorm.
But would Laz really do that knowing Donovan's rage would get the best of him? Not that he had seen it happen in a long time, but that event would be too volatile for him.
No, someone, including Donovan would end up getting hurt.

As Donovan reached for his coffee, he would noticed Laz go right for that bottle of whiskey and then notice the red marks on his back.
"What in the hell did... Well... I thought I was the only animalistic one."
Donovan would think to himself as he shrugged and took a sip of his coffee then return his glance to Vhalla. Who seemed to be shivering and lost in thought. This was an easy read, especially since having noticed a lot of people out in the open would do that.
It was those people that you knew didn't want to be heckled or bothered. Even though it made picking their pockets all the more fun.

The tattooed man would erase the thought in his head and would watch Vhalla closely, who was now looking back at him. Donovan was waiting for the question of his mass collection of tattoos, but he knew that would eventually show itself.
Vhalla decided to inquire about Donovan himself, and why she never seen him and if he lived with Laz and Elain.
There was a reason Vhalla never really saw Donovan. He was usually out and about in town either going to shops or bars. Or, as no one else knew, he was out collecting information for Kat and returning to her.
Donovan had grown so accustomed to being on the move, that staying inside was just not his thing.

"I'm not that hard to find if you know where to look. After all, the hunter always returns to his lair after a good day of hunting... "
He replied to her with a snicker.
