[It's one thing to tell himself to be ready for it, but its another thing entirely to actually go through with it himself. Both women prove to be just as troublesome as the other, almost working in tandem to drag him out of the waiting area he and Benedikta had been in. They stick close to him the whole time they walk down the hallway, their breasts all but pressing against him in an act that he supposes is meant to seduce.
Of course, none of that has any effect on him whatsoever, and if anything all it really does is to make his skin crawl. Had it been any other situation Alhaitham would have already done whatever he needed to to get himself out of it, but the current circumstances isn't going to make that workâat least not without breaking their covers entirely, so all he can do is to grit his teeth and continue to put up with this.
Thankfully the walk down the hallway doesn't go on for much longer, as the women comes to a stop at a door on the side. The one closer to said door does a little wave with her finger, causing tiny sparks to fly out from her fingertip over to the door, which unlocks with an audible click and then swings open.
"Right in here, good sir," they trill to him once the way is open. Alhaitham would be a fool to not see the trap for what it is, but turning them down would most likely not fly well... is there anything else he can do to buy some time?]
...I want to see the library first. [He says after a moment, giving both of the women a flat stare.] It will give me a better understanding of his basis, before moving on to see his actual work.
