RP: Tea/Coffee for Two
Date: October 25, 2011
Characters: Dax Xavier, Tobias Whitehall
Location: Coffee House
Status: Private
Summary: Catching up with a new friend.
Completion: incomplete
Tobias claimed two plush chairs at a small table, curling himself around the hot mug of tea. He'd gotten a scone as well in a moment of weakness and broke off the edge of it. Delicious. He was looking forward to having a quiet repast with a friend his own age. He enjoyed the youthful vigor of his students, but so many of his colleagues were also new young hires that he felt rather surrounded. He'd never really gotten on with the professors hired around the same time as he had been. Thank God then for Beatrix. His faithful dog had introduced him to more new friends than any other activity, including the few frightening forays he'd made into dating websites.
The fact that he was lonely was hardly new to him, of course. He'd been terribly lonely since Simon died, but that been a bone deep, nothing can replace my other half kind of loneliness. It precluded all other feelings or thoughts. Now that it was finally receding, he found himself longing for simple company again. Just meeting for coffee on Tuesday was quite satisfying in it's own right.
