The paved path blurred underneath Srath, his long strides carrying him through the park. The cool morning air brushing against his face and arms would have made him shiver it it weren't for the thermal exercise clothing he'd brought. He'd been taking advantage of being on the ground again since he'd finally decided on a room a couple days ago. Finding any excuse to be outside in the open air after being cooped up in that frigate for over a month. 

The sun was beginning to dry the mornings dew from the trees as he slowed his pace, letting himself catch his breath before making his way back. On his return trip he noted that the building, for all its flaws, seemed to catch the morning light in such a way as to make it almost pleasing to look upon. 

He exited the elevator to see Shuo sticking his head into Rareths and Shivas dorm and to be hit with a smell that his brain tried desperately to identify, getting stuck somewhere between earthy and moldy.
