The Park - Monday afternoon.

[spectre_alenko]

It was a nice, slow, boring day.

That feeling filled Kaidan with dread, a little bit, because it almost seemed as if thinking it would cause the island to do an abrupt about-face. It was drizzling off and on, though more on than off, but that didn't bother Kaidan much. Kanan was planning to go to the sparring sessions with him. He wasn't sure why that was causing anxiety, but it was, and the only thing to do about it was to run and burn off all the excess energy.

The park's paths were nice and paved and far less slick than anything near the shore would be, so he hit those and began doing laps at speed, broken by laps of lighter jogging.

He tried to figure out the disquiet, but everything was a nightmare muddle of everything and nothing all at once. He had friends here. He was allowed to have friends here. His friends back home would be happy he had friends here. Why was his brain being so stupid? He didn't know, so he ran.

Hernando was wearing a nylon rain jacket over his linen outfit, his only concession to the weather. He was simply taking in a different view of the park on a cloudy day instead of a sunny one.

He saw Kaidan running and waved, unsure if the man were wearing headphones.

Kaidan slowed to a stop. "Hernando," he greeted, "How's it going?"

[hernando_fuentes]

"It is going well, my friend," Hernando greeted in return, "How is it going for you? I see you are not letting a little rain stop your exercise."

[spectre_alenko]

"Generally don't," Kaidan agreed, "At least it's a warm rain. Did you have a chance to talk to Rosalie?"

[hernando_fuentes]

"I did," Hernando answered warmly, "She is a lovely lady. I will have some of her cupcakes this week. The store even seems to approve of them. It created some nice tiered cupcake stands with a crystal cover!"

[spectre_alenko]

"Nice," Kaidan said, "Even if I am a little weirded out by a store that's sort of sentient on its own."

[hernando_fuentes]

"I think perhaps it just wants to be the best store it can be," Hernando offered with a smile, "It is a delight to me every day. I never know what it will have planned."

[spectre_alenko]

Yup. He was definitely acclimating. That didn't even sound weird to him. "You're really digging all the weird, aren't you?" Kaidan asked, a little impressed.
