The Winner estate library is, unsurprisingly, both comfortable and extensive.

In about three hours, Trowa will have to head back across the colony to the park where the circus has set up its tents, so he can change and warm up in time for the evening's show. But that's three hours from now. Right now, he's settled on one of the third-floor sofas in the Winner library, reading a borrowed book while Quatre's off getting tea.

(The caffeine is mostly for Quatre, who's a workaholic even when he's not rearranging his schedule to spend afternoons with a friend, but Trowa's not objecting to it either.)

The door to Quatre's suite is open, though door's far enough from the sofa--and the kitchen's far enough from the door-- that only the smallest noises of preparation can be heard.

Quatre's been keeping odd hours for most of his life, but he's been finishing work at 11-11:30pm at night for the past few days, and starting it again at 5am. It means that as the water boils he leans back against the counter and breathes in the peace between being at work and hanging out lazily with Trowa.

(Which is more than worth it; he never gets to see his closest friends. And, unlike Duo, you really need to talk to Trowa in person to catch up with him.

And other things, which he switches between obsessing over and ignoring, of course.)

He takes a call from his assistant as he removes the water from the heat.
