[Partway up the corridor, Nikos stops. Marks the movement he'd thought he had seen. Waits, until he sees it again. He doesn't reach for his dagger. His arm tightens, unremarkably. He walks forward a few more paces, comes more fully into view.
It is light, he realizes, a moment later. Too faint, too shivery to be any flame. And, now he sees it: Kostos, and with a sigh, Nikos picks up his pace. Because he might as well.
He's wearing a dark cloak, and as he gets closer, he shifts his arm so the package he's carrying stays well beneath it. There's a faint smell of wine to him, as usual. If he'd not had so much to drink he might have concealed the package a little sooner. As it is, it might go unnoticed.
Then again, Kostos is an irritating shit.
Nikos walks right past his brother, and the tiny light. Shoves open his door and goes into his small room and immediately starts banging around in there, taking off his cloak, chucking it on the bed with the package wrapped within, fumbling to light a candle and get wine and, you know, things. Things people do in their room. He pointedly does not talk first.

He does leave the door open.]
