Tonight's hunt went smoothly, without any surprises.
And the gains were beyond expectations.
Maud knew when to stop. Shaking off the many gazes following him, he left the main street and entered the maze of alleys.

"Go to the kitchen first. I'll be there shortly."
Maud said this before heading up the stairs and quietly returning to his room.
