Perhaps it was getting too cold to continue sitting under his favourite tree to read, or perhaps it was the setting sun making it too dim to see the words on the page, but - around an hour earlier than he would have usually - Prouvaire started to pack his book away, his journal following into the satchel he carried with him. He let a soft sigh out and brushed his hair back from his eyes, looking up at the patch canopy of orange and brown leaves and stretching his arms before pushing himself up from the ground, brushing dirt from his dungarees and flinging his bag over his shoulder as he started his walk home.
He pulled the sleeves of his sweater over his hands as he went - I must remember to bring a jacket next time - taking his usual route and hummin along to music playing on his headphones. A short distance later, a thought crossed his mind, perhaps he didn't have to return home just yet, his roommate didn't give him the quiet he needed to truly focus on writing, reading, annotating. The library was out, he had left his student card at home, plus it was out of the way. Maybe changing his routine just for the warmth of a warm drink in his hands, the ambiance of a café at this time surely wouldn't distract him too much.
He paused a moment longer before nodding to himself and heading for the café he usually stopped by on the way to classes, cosy chairs and a warm cup of tea couldn't possibly be a wrong choice to make. He felt his shoulders relax as he stepped inside and was suddenly aware of the tip of his nose being chilled, his cheeks feeling strange at the sudden temperature change, maybe it was time to move his reading inside for the winter. He took his headphones from his ears and placed his hands on the counter, waiting only a moment for someone to come and serve him.
"I fear you may sleep here." He smiled, seeing the same man who had served him several hours earlier that day, and maybe every morning that he stopped by, "How is it you always seem to be working?"
