"Yeah," he said with a shrug. "I think I'm supposed to meet him here. You seen him around?" It seemed strange that someone wouldn't be in their room shortly after the doors unlocked, especially since the hallways had been deserted.

Aside from that shadow creature, he worked best on his own anyways.
