Kell had been less than happy the next morning when he woke up without Holland beside him. It was barely dawn. There's a frustration that Holland isn't someone you can just go find and argue with simply. The note... that had softened the blow a little bit.
Regardless of the fact that he wanted to go see him if only to tell him he's angry he couldn't. There's too much to do in his London and Lila was due back for at least a few days and he wants to see her before she sets sail again. It's much harder to visit someone who's on the open sea than in another London -- imagine that wouldn't you.
So it's almost a week before he can get free to go to White London. He carries the vial the other had left around his neck where he had carried the coins. A constant reminder like the bite on his shoulder of Holland. Lila had left a bite or two as well, staking her claim perhaps not as deeply as Holland had which is a little surprising. He would have thought seeing that mark would have made her more forceful.
But he does come. And once he does he makes his way into Holland's chambers to wait for him. Whenever Holland does come in, Kell's stripped naked already, lounging on his bed in just the necklace, fingers toying with the vial.
