I went for a walk. Not sure when I'll be back. I'll eat while I'm out and I'll call if I need you. Don't worry and don't wait up. Love you comrade, even when you're acting weird. - Roza

After leaving Dimitri's apartment, I walked in no particular direction, but I didn't get far. About a half mile into my walk, I felt dizzy and my chest started to ache. I ended up on a bench in a park near one of Court's few gym areas. The dhampir housing and the gyms were usually close by each other.
After collecting myself, I bought a cup of coffee at a barista cart that rolled by. It was cold out, but I didn't drink the coffee, having too many close calls in such a short amount of time. So I sat there on the bench, letting the cup warm my hands.
It was a beautiful night. Around this time, abiding by Court tradition, most of electric lights outside had been converted and replaced with gas lamps and real flames. It was a clear night and I could see stars in the sky. Small children were playing in the park, their parents shamelessly shooing their children away from me.
I didn't mind. I'm not a kid person. They're loud and selfish and messy. So, I didn't mind that the concerned mothers of Court deemed me unfit to be within breathing distance of their children.
I sat on that bench for hours, not paying attention to the time and just enjoying the night. I breathed in the crisp air and smiled to myself.
This is exactly what I needed, a little alone time.
"And what are you looking so blissful about? Did that doctor give you a new ticker?"
A smiled before I saw him, turning to face the gypsy's beautiful nephew.
