Wandering Around in November
Who; Llewellyn and whoever!
What; November logs! (Open ones below the cut, closed ones in the comments!)
Where; The market, park, and all around
When; Mid to late November
Warnings; None but I will warn accordingly if something comes up!
There’s something to be said for the bustle of a market - Open to All
Between one job and the next, Llewellyn had found himself wandering the market with a pretzel in hand as he browsed the wares on various tables and through windows of smaller shops that had opened up over time.
It was quiet moments like this that reminded him of his world, in a way. If you tuned out the chocobos and other oddities, squinting just a little…
In many ways, it was better than his world, of course. Society was a little more relaxed here, for one. There were fewer things for him to hide. But he still felt out of place sometimes in other ways he couldn’t quite explain to people.
But there was something relaxing about moving from one table to the next, admiring the craftsmanship of one person’s work or chatting with another about what news or gossip there was to be heard while he bought a snack.
Llewellyn seemed to be on the lookout for something, though it was hard to say what at a glance. One might even wonder if Llewellyn knew what he was trying to find... But he was a bit caught up in some musings, brought on by the time of year. It was a complicated one for the detective, and he seemed intent upon keeping himself busy.
Sometimes Llewellyn would get so distracted with a thought or a conversation that, unsurprisingly, he’d almost bump into another person. “Oh- er… Pardon!” He uttered at one point, nearly walking into someone, only to awkwardly spin a little and lean around them instead. How he did so without falling over was something between extensive experience of almost walking into people and a small miracle.
Progress with a pupper at the park - Open to All
It was a brisk autumn afternoon at the park, leaves caught in breezes to fly through the air and eventually land to only be crunched underfoot. It had quickly become a favourite haunt of Llewellyn’s and his pup Pretzel alike. The open air, the space, the sounds of ducks or excited squirrels were pleasantly familiar. The man always felt far better outside than he ever did inside, often taking his casework on walks with him, even in his own world.
Today was not about work, though. Instead, he’d gathered up a few things from the apartment and hooked a leash to Pretzel’s collar. His intentions were to continue training his wrinkly companion, hiding toys and setting up trails for the dog to follow. He wanted to work the canine up to the point they could practice with people, hoping the dog would help with finding missing persons should such cases arise.
Of course, it had eventually devolved into tug-of-war games and Pretzel taking off at a run to burn off some energy or if another animal or person had caught his attention.
He was a sociable pup, good-natured and often confused over the idea that not everyone would want to be friends… So someone might be surprised by a dog tripping over their own ears to get to them to say hello.

Ohno... My brain is going to want to try making them a visual reference again like his Sphere office
As his husband came to a stop, Llewellyn’s steps slowed, and he turned to look at the man with some concern as he came to rub at his eyes. He leaned in and lifted a finger to catch something on Rhy’s cheek. Tears…? But the tone, the expression on his face… Happy tears… The best kind, if they needed to be shed. He offered a softer smile as he leaned in. “We are, my love. We’re going to have a place to call home together… And I couldn’t be more happy for it.”
Even saying they were going to have a home, a place for them… Yes, it struck a particular chord. Something he’d often missed in life, as with many new steps with Rhy. This was another that his beloved would make with him…
i approve
"Thank you."
Yay! :D I shall have fun with it
He’d probably have still been fussing about the apartment, trying to think of how to bring it up if Rhy hadn’t agreed to the walk and nudged him in the right direction for the conversation once they were outside.
would this perhaps be something we can close soon?
Still, he was happy now to loop his arm with his husbands.
"Show me more places."
Yeah, definitely. They've made some good progress in this thread!
As the man looped their arms together again, Llewellyn smiled and turned them towards the next neighborhood. “Of course, there’s plenty more to see.” So many options, they would be kept quite busy for the day, and likely more going forward.
