Yearn

He had to admit it, he had run away. 

Boris quickly walked down the hallway, his heart pounding hard in his chest as he made his way to his room. A place he hadn't slept in for months. He turned his head momentarily, eyes glancing down the hallway for a second before continuing as a slower stride. 

'How brave of you,' he thought to himself in a heavily mocking tone as he let out a long sigh. 

It had only been a few minutes since he ran away from Dominic's office. 

They had had a brief discussion, himself, Kalmin, and the prince, and as soon as Kalmin stood up to leave, Boris had waltzed his way to the door with him and slicked away like a little weasel. He had looked back once at Dominic, his last eye-catching glimpse of the prince before he disappeared behind the door. Confusion and amusement had been smeared across his light-skinned face.
