roomie troubles | juuzou
The past few weeks in the apartment had been relatively quiet. It was a bit strange to live in an apartment with two other people, but it was effortlessly easy given how little he saw of them. Only one roommate had been made known to him. A brunette with red eyes. The other was an enigma. Scuffling feet out in the living room alerted Ricken during the evening that this mystery roommate had arrived, but whenever he had peeked out of his door, the other was already in their room.
And so the days had passed where the Mage made himself content with knowing as little as possible about this other roommate. There were moments where curiosity overwhelmed him, but the impulse to knock on the bedroom door were squashed down.
Despite this, Ricked filled the loneliness he felt while in the apartment by bringing in a new addition to the living area. A tabby cat that he had dubbed Merric. Today was relatively calm. Nothing unusual had happened. He lay on the worn, old couch in the living room, with the wide rim of his hat shielding his closed eyes from the single lap that illuminated the room. Resting on his stomach was the cat, who had subsequently fallen asleep while the Mage routinely stroked the tabby's back. Unsurprisingly, Ricken had also fallen asleep after some unknown amount of time, worn down from his daily morning training routine with a dear friend of his.
