He stopped. His hair was damp but squeaky clean, as it were. Tobias felt his lips, they were dry and chapped. He was halfway up the stairs and eager to get to bed, but he knew he wouldn't be able to get to sleep until he got a decent drink down him. Cracking his neck he turned, this was the longest night he had ever had. His body clock was going to be ruined. Lightening struck outside and the Orkhid looked up, listening to the patter of rain on the roof. He remembered when he was a child and his mother and father used to 'play' with him in the rain, teaching him how it had its 'advantages' and 'disadvantages'. He lived on the Orkhid army base. Like all army bases the housing for the active soldiers was in the barracks, wereas the housing for the in-active troops was in these little houses. Around 75 houses in total, all guarded by the advanced technology there was. He remembered the feeling of safety when the lights were out and was going to be a General...but that was ended in his battle against the Reptilians. Sighing Tobias wandered around the back of the bar and got a drink of pure Orange juice from the refridgerator. Closing the door he turned and opened the top with the bottle opener that was on the side of the counter. He then proceeded to walk back to his room. But as he took his steps he stepped in something...something watery. A puddle. A low snarl came from his throat and water from his hair trickled down his back, making him shiver a little. His eyes shot downwards...footprints. Watery footprints. Big ones. Tobias could have sworn they weren't his, infact he knew they weren't. There were two sets...one larger than the other and both lead to the Kitchen. Downing his juice the suspicious creature crept into the Kitchen. He was still knackered but also incredibly suspicious.
Thieves...
The thought crossed his mind. They must have broken into Arims and then gone out with the stolen items. Coming back in to gather some more. Tobias smirked, he could probably get his jacket and shirt back if he caught them and retrieved the goods. Aswell as getting free board. In his weakened state he could not do much, but scare them...and that was all he intended to do...scare. He raised the glass bottle over a wooden cupboard and brought it down, shattering the bottom of it, but still keeping the top. Now he was relativly dangerous. Halting his eyes continued to follow the footprints, right upto the trapdoor.
I knew it...
Thinking twice, Tobias also equipped his over hand with a carving knife that was rested near the sink. Two thieves...two weapons. He smiled to himself, maybe his luck was picking up...
