He stood looking at his half-faded face in the glass; he was supposed to be looking at the view of the city but then again, his mind was preoccupied with his earlier meeting. What his brother was proposing was stupidity. They had their time, and his brother had got tired of doing his job so he left it, they all left it. They knew what would happen when they did, if he didn't know any better he would say that his brother was tired of sleeping with his wife.
Not that his brother didn't sleep with other women, he still did but it was a cruel fate for the woman who did share his bed. His wife didn't even hunt his lovers down anymore, he insured that they were never a temptation again. He took another drink of the wine he held in his hand. Before returning, to examine the face that looked back at him.
He could see his father in his face: in the wide forehead, the deep-set black eyes that looked back at him, the rough cut of his jaw, there were also the soft touches of his mother in his face in his nose lips and the rounded edges of his cheekbones. However, his father's face was more predominant he hated his father's face.
So, he did what he could, to claim it as his own; that included pulling back his long wavy hair into a neat braid that reached the center of his back. He kept his beard neatly trimmed but he did change-up the style up every once in a while. This time the style was what they now called a Van Dyke, made recently popular again because of the famed actor Johnny Depp favored it. His wife and his daughters had suggested this style. It had felt strange at first since, he normally either let a patch of hair grow to cover his chin or he would grow his mustache and beard let it encircle his mouth but kept the rest of his face clean. However, this style of facial hair kept his mustache and beard separate.
At first he didn't feel that this style suited him, despite what the women in his life were saying, it wasn't until his son suggested he let his side burns grow, out of habit he kept them trim but he followed his sons advice and let them reach his jaw line. This little addition allowed the new look to settle in better.
The sudden blaring rifts of Hail to the King by Avenge sevenfold disrupted the silence. He dug into the pocket inside of his jacket, and retrieved his Phone. He really should never have allowed his people to program his phone.
"Hello,"
"Good evening sir,"
"Ah Morpheus, Is the Show over?"
"No, Simply intermission sir, though I'm sorry you are not here to enjoy the show yourself,
"I doubt I could have, after the day I've had." He said with a sigh.
"That's why I called sir, are you sure there is nothing I can do for you sir."
"Morpheus, you are starting to sound like my wife." he chuckled.
"I'll take that as a complement sir."
"As you should, forget about me Morpheus and enjoy the show."
"I will sire just as much as you will enjoy the surprise."
"Surprise, what surprise? Hello?"
He looked at his phone's screen, which showed that Morpheus had hung up on him. Something Morpheus's brother would do but him? It was really out of character. Suddenly the phone to his room rang he put his glass down on the nearest surface and walked to the intercom by the front door.
"Yes,"
"Good evening sir, room service is waiting at your door."
"Room service, I didn't ord-" He stopped mid sentence, when he remembered Morpheus words. He couldn't help but smile to himself.
"Sir?"
"It's nothing thank you I'll let them in."
He opened the door where a young man dressed in the hotels uniformed wheeled in the cart with dinner.
"Is there anywhere you want me to set this up sir."
"Aside from the dining table?" he replied.
"I only ask because, sometimes clients like to eat while watching TV"
That actually didn't sound like a bad idea. "You know what go ahead and do that, I am kind of in the mood for a movie."
