Irritation
Who: Noah and Val
When: around 2 PM
Where: the study
Noah was attempting not to marinate in irritation the way he was marinating in sweat, but he was mostly unsuccessful. He wasn't a big fan of being too hot and having no way to cool off, and he knew that likely the folks running this place wanted to see people get scratchy and annoyed. He didn't even have cool water in his bathroom, so he'd foregone a shower this morning. Luckily he'd taken one right before bed the night before, so he wasn't reeking. Hopefully. It was hard to tell when it was this hot.
He hadn't been downstairs long, and he'd started out in the kitchen, guzzling a bottle of cold water and eating anything cold he could lay his hands on from the fridge: yogurt, grapes, cheese, chocolate pudding. Not a nutritiously balanced meal, but he was out of fucks to give at this point. He'd found some temporary relief by melting ice in his hands and rubbing it over his neck and upper chest, but it didn't last long. All you gotta do is get through this day, he told himself mentally. There might be something worse tomorrow, but at least it shouldn't involve the same thing all over again.
Noah had brought another bottle of water with him into the study, and he was currently standing next to the front window looking out at the sheeting rain and the faint smudge of his reflection in the glass. He hadn't bothered with a shirt today; he was just wearing his jeans, figuring they'd be cooler than the sweatpants he'd been given as exercise clothes. Idly, he held the bottle against one side of his neck, wondering how the shop was running without him. Had his partner taken hold, maybe hired someone else to help out until Noah was back? Noah hated the potential thought of the shop closing, because he'd worked hard at it, getting everything together for it. And he needed to stop thinking about it, because he certainly didn't need anything else to be irritated about today.
