A nod of understanding was given. Death by coffee; how utterly embarrassing it would have been after surviving plagues and pandemics throughout the centuries. Once Peter handed him the wine bottle, Adam took a final swig before returning it to the cabinet so they'd have plenty to go with the leftover Italian food later.
At Peter's agreement to look for the safe, Adam found a pencil and began taking the liberty of marking on the floor where the empath should check during his search. Luckily, these weren't totally blind guesses, as he always hid his treasures in the same few places throughout his different properties. That way, they were never truly lost. So far, there were places to check underneath the fridge and in the corners of the kitchen beside cabinets.
As he stood back to observe the ability that had bought them both their freedom, Adam paused to look at Peter and slowly shook his head. ❝ Never underestimate your enemy. If they were to catch us apart, I... ❞ wouldn't be able to protect you. ❝ I would be a sitting duck without you, you know, ❞ he finished with a soft laugh as he gave Peter a pat on the shoulder. ❝ Besides, I believe the Italian restaurant has a cafe on the side. It'll be my treat. Least I can do considering my decades-old coffee made an attempt on your life. ❞
Normally, Adam might have been worried about going out into town, but not here. One of the reasons he'd chosen this city was its lack of progressiveness, especially concerning technology. The only cameras would be in and around the bank, so as long as they kept their distance from that building, he was confident they would be fine.
