6 times. Vox had read this shitty Etiquette book 6 times. He could probably recite the damn thing like Shakespeare at this point. He'd even managed to fall asleep after the 4th go. Though Vox was unsure how long for or even how long he'd been here for now or what time it actually was. It must have been a while because his stomach was starting to growl again. Maybe he should have asked for something other than just bread. 

Only positive news was his headache was gone so that was nice. His body still ached from being unable to stand to stretch properly but he felt worse before after sitting in his office all day. However he had never been so bored in his life or death. He was used to 1000 things at once going on around him. Shows to run, Valentino to deal with, interviews to do, surveillance to watch, meetings to attend, So It had been years since he'd sat in a quiet room with nothing to do, nothing to hear, Not even his sharks to watch. It was so mind numbingly boring.

A small movement from across the room drew Vox's attention. Small shadow moving around the room watching Vox from a distance. Its head slightly tilted once it met Voxs Gaze.

“Hey sentient Shadow thing, is Alastor coming back soon? Cause i'm getting real hungry ” Vox questioned, the shadow tilted its head in the other direction, its own creepy smile growing before disappearing once more and reappearing with some snacks. Crisps, biscuits, chocolate etc… Voxs stomach growled once again as his mouth watered at the site. This must have amused the shadow as vox watched its shoulders shake a little not unlike when Alastor  used to laugh at his shitty jokes. The shadow moved towards Voxs cage placing the snacks just next to the cage before disappearing into the shadows once more.

Placing the book down and rolling onto his knees Vox moved closer to the edge of the cage. Clawed fingers pushed through the gaps attempting to reach as far as they could towards the snacks. Unfortunately for Vox They were just out of reach.

“fuck” Vox mumbled to himself they where so close to if he could just get his hand to fit that little bit further. Letting out a frustrated growl vox sat back down crossing his legs. Digital eyes glaring murdersly at the food he couldn't reach his stomach growling as if to mock him further.

Distracted by his death glare at the snacks Vox didn't notice a Figure emerge From the shadows until red Tipped boots appeared next to the offending food. Vox's vexed eyes glared up towards Alastor’s. a Smug Expectant expression adorned his face.

“Hello Alastor” Vox spoke, forcing a strained false smile on his face. Copying what that stupid book said. Great people with a smile and a hello.  It must have been the right thing to do because Alastors face lit up with excitement before he sat himself in front of Vox's cage picking up the snacks and placing them on his knee.

“Why hello Vox what a wonderful greeting. Would you perhaps be hungry? It is lunchtime after all” Alastor cooed, opening a bag of crisps and tilting the bag towards Vox.

“It's hard to tell with no clocks in here, but yes I'd like some food…. Please” biting back his pride Vox tried to keep the disgruntled Tone out of his voice. He just had to play nice until he could get out of this cage.

Taking a crisp into His hand Alastor offered It to Vox through the gaps in the cage like he had done the bread.

“Alastor… Can't you just shadow the food in here like you did the clothes , or I could come out there? I don't appreciate being fed like a child” unable to hold back a small irritated growl. Vox waited for Alastor’s reaction to it as he reluctantly took the crisp anyway.  What he was not expecting was the loud laugh that Alastor let out. As if Vox had said the funniest joke in the world. As unease began to bubble in Vox's stomach once more Alastor Suddenly stopped laughing, his eyes were dark, his smile strained and his ears flicked With annoyance.
