Aloïsia's POV
I knocked on his door and told him that his coffee is on the counter. I hope he liked it? It has been over 30 minutes and I didn't hear his door open. I'll go check-
-Excuse me? It's still on the table, why didn't take it, did he fall asleep? No wait a sec. the cup is empty, he already finished it :)
Alvin's Day off
It was a cold Sunday morning. Alvin woke up from his sleep, still tired from overworking himself over the past few days. Half asleep, he noticed Aloïsia near the coffee machine and asked her to make him a cup.
He got fresh within a couple of minutes and decided to head out after finishing the coffee. He was feeling rather uneasy, unable to think clearly, he kept walking aimlessly. Sometimes he would take a right turn, sometimes, a left. Eventually he found a tiny park. He bought a small loaf of bread called Brötchen with some cheese and beef salami spread over it from a nearby street vendor before heading over to a bench nearby the park where he would then spend the next thirty minutes sitting and enjoying that.
He sat there looking vacantly at a tree dancing with the wind every few minutes. The park was empty, many would prefer to sleep in on weekends. Especially due to the cold and windy weather. Something caught his attention when he noticed something from the corner of his eye.
It was an orange cat with white spots, sitting beside the bench, staring vacantly towards the same direction Alvin was facing. Alvin chuckled from the thought that it was almost as if they were sitting together. He broke off a piece from the brötchen and lowered it next to the feline. It looked at Alvin for a few seconds before smelling the offering. After a quick pause, he accepted it.
