Shifting schedules around with some of his colleagues, Theodore had decided that it might be in his best interest to take an afternoon for himself. He hadn't done so in what was likely several months now, and it was an unfortunate truth that if something was bothering him, it was easier to simply distract himself with extra duties. A bad habit of the past five years. But then, keeping his mind off darker subjects sometimes was more than a little necessary. Theo felt none of those uneasy stirrings in his thoughts today, however. His mind was on immediate things, the small pile of books on dogs he'd ordered from the bookshop, a small serving tray of bread, olives and cheeses, and a carafe of good house wine. This cafe was likely casual for standards in the Nobles District, but it was a brilliant day and for once Theo could enjoy it without the weight of a greatsword strapped to his back and duty binding tight like a collar. He didn't mind sitting alone, Theo thought to himself, considering it only a partial lie. The conversations around him were more than enough for a good distraction, and with one of the books open in his lap, Theo read to himself and found simple contentment with his day. |
