Caradoc cherished the moments of peace, knowing they never lasted long and were always followed by bad news, or some sort of devestating event. Since the outing to get Rodolphus it had been almost too serene, the only issues being of course the insane amount of press coverage and the need to, yet again, hide his face even more than he had before. He had only left his house the once to meet Octavius Lovegood.
He was going a little stir crazy, but he had the benefit of a decent sized piece of property, and the ocean. Swimming was what he was using now to de-stress, even if the water was cold for him, and had taken back up with composing after the song for Marley hadn't turned out half bad. His thoughts were usually always on Marlene in one way or another, frustrated by the fact he couldn't just see her any time he wished; he didn't even know where she lived, which was becoming increasingly irritating.
He came inside from another late night swim under the stars, his hair wet and slicked back and a towel wrapped around his waist. He padded into the kitchen, turning his wireless on as he passed it to play one of the local rock stations, then proceeded to pull out a flask of blood and a glass to prepare what amounted to his lunch.
