Ashe stepped back, gazing at Wilardo’s movement with an uncommonly neutral expression. In different circumstances, the researcher would have been irate at the prospect of someone going through the objects in his drawers: however, he was so honestly exhausted that night the offense barely registered in his mind.
He picked up his treat, staring for a moment before taking a modest spoonful of it. He shivered at the sudden cold sensation on his tongue, a small, content smile forming on his lips.
“Well,” He started, turning his attention back to Wilardo, “I am working on an article about the Reconquista, as well as editing an essay on the european witch-hunts... And I might also be drafting something about the history of colonialism in Spain in my free time...”
Feeling a new wave of fatigue, Ashe fluttered his eyes closed, deciding to focus solely on enjoying the ice cream brought to him. The sweet taste contrasted sharply with the bitter sensation in the back of his throat, brought by coffee and hours of upon hours of work.
“...I...” He murmured, sighing, “...Appreciate your visit. Thank you.”
