It's been nearly two weeks since Mycroft began working for Hellsing, and he's been kept quite busy. From what he can gather, affairs are always lively at the guild, but the current effort to scare up some of the Candlelighters has shifted things into a yet higher gear. He is more than used to spending most of his time working—in fact, returning to such a routine has helped him not to linger so obsessively on the uncertainties of his situation—but peace, quiet, and solitude are never amiss in Mycroft's book, either.

It's early in the morning, and he's arrived at the guild hall ahead of time in order to take the opportunity to walk the grounds. Sobek Croix is a beautiful district, and despite Mycroft's usual preference for keeping nature at a distance, he finds he can't help but enjoy the way it keeps everything else out, particularly around Hellsing. The sound of the nearby forest doesn't bother him as much as other things do, and the feel and scent of it is even pleasant. As long as his shoes stay clean and he stays dry, he thinks he and nature may co-exist more happily than he had anticipated.
