      A knock on the door was heard and Sveinn groaned as he was trying to sleep. He finally got up and answered, rubbing his eyes a bit as he heard a soft chuckle.
     "Tired?" A familiar voice asked and he looked to see Tim.
     "Why are you here so early..?" He pouted.
     "Can't I come by and visit?" He chuckled before he was greeted by the door being shut in from of him. "Aww! Sveinn!"
     "No! You woke me up!" Sveinn said as he laid back down and tried to go back to sleep. Tim chuckled and shook his head before sitting down on a nearby bench.

      After a couple of hours, Sveinn woke up and got up before opening the door and looking around. When he didn't notice Tim around, he grinned and went out.
     "Looking for someone?" Someone chuckled, making him jump in surprise and look to see Ace. "Sorry. Didn't mean to scare you." He smiled.
     "How long have you been here?"
     "About 5 minutes. I just got off and I wanted to see if you wanted to get some tea and talk for a while."
     "Okay." Sveinn said before going with him to the cafe. When they arrived, they took a seat in the back as Sveinn ordered some tea and Ace ordered some for himself. He looked at him.
     "Anything you like to do in your spare time?"
     "I dunno. Read. Play games."
     "Gamer then? Nice." He smiled as Sveinn smiled a bit.
     "Matt and I played a lot when we were younger. We still do."
     "Rob plays a lot in his spare time." Ace smiled. "I've played a few over the years. Mostly puzzle games."
     "I'm more into the musical and creative ones."
     "Interesting." He smiled as he took a sip from his tea, when it arrived. "But I'm more of a reader. Medical books especially." Sveinn chuckled and took a sip from his.
     "Figures since you are a doctor."
     "Oh yeah." Ace chuckled.
     "What made you want to become one?" He asked curiously.
     "I've always been interested in medicine and medical. Helping people is what I want to do. Rob followed in my footsteps and even surprised me, which I don't mind." He smiled as Sveinn nodded. 
     "How long have you lived here?"
     "About 20 years. We moved here when I was 4 from Riverside Fields. A small town near the river. Papa has always been a big fan of big cities."
     "I see." He nodded as he took another sip of his tea.
     "What about you?"
     "Stetson City."
     "I've heard of that place. But I'm glad you moved here." Ace smiled and Sveinn blushed lightly, but smiled back. He liked Ace. He was kind, polite, and the first he met when coming here. Could he really start feeling attraction again..?
