After Nox left, Raffe watered the plants on his sill, running his fingers over the leaves like they were well loved pets. Half a distracted smile played on his lips as he tended to their needs (sometimes he could swear they reacted to his mood). Afterwards he stretched on his bed and read for a while, content to pass the time quietly. He preferred company to silence, generally, but tiredness still lingered from his recent bout of flu. After the day’s impromptu chores he was glad to relax, somewhat surprised to discover the faint ache and fatigue had still not entirely fled his system.
He yawned into his forearm after a while, and at some point before the evening’s shadows began to creep he must have fallen asleep. A groan met wakefulness, a check of his phone confirming it had only been a couple hours. Fingers scruffed a path through his curls as he sat up, swinging his legs down to meet the bare floorboards. He blinked, then padded his way downstairs for a glass of water. It was darker in the bar; none of the lights were on, and there were no windows to let in what remained of the natural light. Kallisti was a sanctuary all of its own; an entire world unto itself.
Feeling awake, now, he bounded back up the stairs, but paused in the corridor. Nox had to be back by now, confirmed by the low murmur coming from his room. Curious steps took him the rest of the way to hover in the doorway. The grin was natural as he spied within, his knuckles rapping on the open door.
