Fix knew when he'd arrived in Madison Valley that summer was fading. Anytime after the solstice, he could feel it, although it was easy to ignore for a while. But now that it was August, it was easy to feel the fading power of Summer in everything around him, and while they still had a month and half until the Equinox, he could feel the cold of fall in the air, even if the regular humans couldn't.
It wasn't a feeling he particularly liked. It was natural, yes, and after the winter solstice, he would slowly start to feel Summer growing again. It was how the seasons worked, how his world worked. But it didn't stop him from feeling down every time that August came, and the decline of summer began to feel more pronounced.
He knew that Sarissa felt it too, probably more than he did, so he had been careful to stay close to her, and to do her bidding even more quickly than normal. Things were still incredibly awkward with her, but he was doing his best to be the Knight that she deserved. After all, she might have looked just like Maeve, but Lily's death was not her fault, no matter what his heart said.
Right now, he was heading into town to pick up a few things for dinner. He stopped at the crosswalk, sighing, and leaned back without thinking to lean against the lamppost while he waited.
With a yelp, he pulled back, his face an expression terrible pain. He should have known they'd have real iron lampposts here. Dammit. Now his shoulder was going to burn all day.
