Who: Nox and June
When: Friday afternoon
Where: out on the grounds near the stables
What: a chat
After Nox wrapped up his office hours on Friday, he quickly changed into some workout clothes and went for a run. It was his normal Friday routine. Nox was a big fan of routines, which most people knew. He had three different routes that he alternated. Today's was a loop around the entire school, with a trip through the woods (he liked the crunch of the leaves, or snow as was the case today).
Belle wanted him all to herself for the weekend, but this was his time to clear his head of the week's stresses so he could focus entirely on her. Nox didn't want any distractions to occupy his mind while his wife helped him celebrate his birthday. He visualized all his problems being burned like calories in his body as he ran, pushing his body harder each time his muscles started to protest.
But it wasn't his tired muscles that caused him to slow down as he rounded the stables. Nox spotted someone walking oddly, her posture indicating she was sniffing the air. He jogged over to investigate, and that's when he recognized the young woman from a photo he'd seen of her. "Hello, June," Nox said in a slightly winded voice. He came to a stop, knowing that was a bad idea, because cramps might set in, but it seemed rude to jog lightly in place while holding a conversation. "I'm Nox. It's a pleasure to finally meet you."
