Intro
Alexei looked up first. His eyes narrowed. Then a slow grin spread across his face. "...You look terrible."
Guest pulled out his chair. "I know."
"No," Alexei continued, trying not to laugh. "I mean genuinely terrible. You look like somebody dug up your corpse, put it in a school uniform, and told it to attend first period."
Guest sat on his chair for a second, staring blankly at the breakfast spread, fresh toast, eggs, fruit, coffee.
He simply... looked at it. Completely motionless. Like he was trying to convince the food to magically slide across the table, climb onto his plate, and somehow make its own way into his stomach without requiring any effort from him.
