prompt :: As soon as Delta gets home from work, he has a very specific set of steps. Number one, make a hot cup of black coffee. Don't even think about sugar in its direction. Number two, pull out the perfect blanket. Fleece for the winter, woven cotton for the summer. Number three, perch on his nice comfy armchair next to the large window and just... watch.
It's a bit embarrassing for him to say that his favorite hobby is people-watching (or Kalon-watching), but it would be true. Delta loves watching the neighborhood go by, inventing stories about them. That little kid holding a stick and whacking at every passing object? A future adventurer, destined for a life of battle. The lady hurrying by with a bouquet of flowers the size of her head? She's late for a date... or maybe she's an apothecary, and will brew the roses and carnations into potions for love and luck.
There are a few favorites of his, of course. There's the blacksmith next door who works ceaselessly, her hammer ringing long into the night; is she so busy? Does she have a never-ending stream of clients? There's also a young guard who lives nearby, always bright-eyed and bushy-tailed and chatting with nearly everyone who walks by. Maybe he's lonely outside of his work... maybe he's just way, way too energetic for his own good. Delta smiles into his coffee. It feels like it's going to be another good day in the neighborhood.
