Vigour

Miller laid back, his figure neatly imprinted upon the chair, his shadowed etched deeply into the carpet behind him.

His eyes flattened then widened, he clenched his fists and wriggled his body into an abstract game of hole in the wall.

his mind fell blank and a rush of sensory information overloaded him, for he smelt, he saw and he remembered, not only who he was but who were here.

His heart sank and his throat closed, he coughed a number of times and an accumulated mountain of spit and ash mixed into a concoction from hell within his palm, he rubbed his hand against his bottoms and straightened his back.

"I'm awfully sorry Luke Murray please forgive my impudence."

Luke's laughter jolted violently around the curvature of his ear.

"yes now..." he stopped his mind drew another blank for he knew not why he was here.

"oh yes how did the... examination.. go?"

"ah it went well thank you kindly mr Miller"

"yes... good to hear now what was the conduct of your business here?"

luke spoke in vigour "ah yes here" luke had handed over a folder, on it written Guild Registration form, Millers eyes widened.
