While it was a rare day in Matilda’s life, it was also a rare day in Evan’s….but for much different reasons. It was the kind of day that only comes once in a lifetime…and that’s what worried him. He knew what he had to do that day, where he had to be, who he was meeting with…but he didn’t know what he was walking into. He had no idea that such monumental orders were going to be handed to him. This was…big. Bigger than any other orders he had been given in the past. They all seemed like cakewalks in comparison.
But he couldn’t fail him. He couldn’t fail the Dark Lord, not when he had selected him to do something so important. So…imperative to their cause.
That didn’t mean he handled it well, once he was home. When he was finally alone, and had no one staring at him, expecting so much from him, he started pacing…and it wasn’t long before he started to pour himself shot after shot of vodka. At one point, he had even taken a seat at the grand piano that was situated in his sitting area…something he rarely ever did, but found himself staying there for quite some time.
His slender digits found their way across the ebony and ivory keys. The notes of Fur Elise rang beautifully through the air. He was always an excellent player…but it had been years since he had actually played. His concentration was focused solely on the music, until his finger slipped do to a disruptive yell. He looked over to the hallway that came before his door, shutting his eyes momentarily as he recognized the voice. It was Matilda. And he felt his stomach twist uncomfortably at the thought of her friend seeing him in this shape…but if he knew Matilda, she would break down his door before she just let him ignore her presence. He grabbed his wand from on top of the piano and quietly cleared his throat, unlocking the door from where he was sitting instead of getting up. She probably heard the several clicks and clanks of the locks being undone, and the sound of a few charms fading away. He just hoped she’d let herself in, since he was in no state to get up at the moment.
