Sighing, he gives up and wanders to the window, gazing out over the quiet street leading away from his apartment. November is taking over, cool winds gusting against every available surface as the last leaves fall from trees lining the sidewalks. The grey skies and sluggish clouds overhead seem to be mirroring his emotions as he rests his forehead against the chilly glass with a sigh.
He closes his eyes for a minute when something changes-- instead of looking out over the brisk autumn day, he feels it, the wind buffeting his skin and toying with his clothes and hair. "What the--?"
"I leave you alone for a few days so you can rest and you look like you've barely slept an hour," a familiar, chiding voice calls over the gusts, startling him as he spins around. Alison Williams stands behind him, a jacket held out to him. "Put it on," she directs the shellshocked man, her lips twitching as she looks at him. "You really do look exhausted."
He grumbles, pulling the article of clothing on while she stares. "Yeah, well, it's hard to shut my brain up after our first, memorable meeting..."
"Yeah, that was interesting, wasn't it?" She looks unimpressed as he flaps his arms a couple of times to get the sleeves to fall just so.
