for aglovan

[ The unfortunate thing is that Aglovan is a lot like his eldest brother.

Well, perhaps that's Trahearne giving himself too much credit. He finds Aglovan's fixation on his work more of an enthusiastic preoccupation on his work, where Trahearne's is little more than actual workaholism. At the end of the day, the result is the same: someone needs to drag him away from work.

On a day where Trahearne happens to be out running errands, he drops by a nearby cafe to pick up some coffee for the both of them (workaholism encouraging another's workaholism?). He decides to drop by Aglovan's house to check on him, make sure he's being fed, and draw him away for a break if he needs it.

So, knock, knock! Open up, little boy! ]

[ For most of his life, Trahearne has paid little attention to Wintersday. He's always been busy, if not with Orr then with the Pact, and he never really had time to think of, let alone purchase and wrap gifts. Besides, the concept of family is so different to a sylvari. Early days aside, it would be an impossible feat to bring back all the sylvari to celebrate together as one big family. Some don't even celebrate, like himself.

Except now, for the first time in his life, Trahearne finds himself in a festive mood. The previous year found him on the slippery slope towards noctaeredom, but now, he's more at peace than he ever has been. And in the strangest twist, he even has a loved one he'd feel the need to celebrate and get a gift for. It's funny how things turn out. He would have never imagined himself here a year ago.

The idea of a gift for Zhongli came to him before they even began dating, back in the summer, and since Trahearne did not know when his birthday was (something to ask, at some point), he decided to hold onto it for Wintersday. And so, with the day here at last, the sylvari arrives at the archon's house with the present neatly wrapped and tucked under his arm, hopefully not drawing immediate attention to it.

After a moment of hesitation, Trahearne reaches to knock decisively and loudly on Zhongli's door. Open up!! ]

[ Just as he said he would be, Trahearne is, almost all the time, at the archives!

Since their conversation over the journal, the sylvari has alerted his staff to the possible arrival of his new acquaintance (...boss-in-law? no, they're not married (yet)—), so that he will know when she arrives, regardless of what he might be up to in the moment. Knowing who is in Zhongli's life is important to him, both so he may widen his own social circle, and so that he may get to know Zhongli better.

On this particular day, luckily for Hu Tao, Trahearne is spending most of his time sorting books and putting them away in their proper spot in the main room of the archives. Though he may be occupied, he isn't particularly busy. It's the perfect chance to bother him. ]
