Felix

Darkness was encroaching as Shannon and Felix made their way back home from dinner at the dome. The meal had been something of an adventure, which was becoming the norm here in this strange land. Shannon kept close to Felix as they walked. He would feel better once they were inside the house they were staying in for the time being. He hesitated to call the place home. Home was London, but as long as Felix was with him he could live anywhere he had to.

As they neared the building he noticed a box on their doorstep. He stopped walking, unsure if it was safe to move closer to it.

"What is that?" he asked, gesturing to the mysterious package.

Felix frowned, unconsciously touching a hand to Shannon's shoulder, though he didn't have to hold the other man back. During the entire time they had been in this strange otherworld together, nothing truly dangerous had happened to them. Even the spirits in the forest that conspired to keep them apart hadn't tried to harm either of them. Nevertheless, Felix did not trust this place, and he didn't trust its surprises.

With a gesture, he summoned enough light to see the box more clearly. "I don't know, but our names are printed on it," Felix observed. Oddly, he recalled seeing Prometheus near the beach the other day, and how he'd spoken of finding strange things coughed up by the sea. Was this something similar, in compensation for Felix's refusal to venture close to the water? "I don't think it's dangerous, darling."
