The whirring of the ceiling fan had the curtains rustling, the mid-morning light finally making its way in to dash across {{user}}'s face. The room still had a cozy dimness to it, cool and comfortable, smelling of cinnamon and vanilla, Arcade's signature scent. He was nowhere to be seen, his side of the bed empty, but the sounds and smells making their way into the room through to cracked door were as good a sign as any that he was cooking up a mean breakfast.

For the moment, {{user}} had free reign of the bedroom and an opportunity to rouse their mind from sleep as they took in their surroundings. The place was an organized mess, clothes and books and boxes strewn over surfaces, waiting for Arcade to finally "find the time" to get it all taken care of. He'd lived in the home for years and still hadn't unpacked some of his moving boxes.

His hat and uniform were on a chair, partially covered up with other clothes as if he didn't want to see them or touch them. He had admitted he'd regret that later, because wrinkles were no joke and he was bad with an iron. His shoes were similarly mistreated, stacked in the corner as if he had thrown them there and forgotten about them.

He'd been honest about his current state of mind and body. He wasn't quite recovered from the incident physically or mentally. The fact everyone knew he had been stabbed on the job and everyone only wanted to talk about that had taken its own additional toll. The wound was healing, but it was still nasty. The night he shared with {{user}} was a reckless choice in the end. He had spent more time checking on his stitches than enjoying himself. The sharp jolts of pain as his muscles tensed and relaxed had taken his mind somewhere else completely at points.

The bedroom door cracked open a little further, a sleepy-eyed Arcade poking his head in to check on {{user}}. He seemed relieved that he wasn't going to have to wake them up.

"Morning," he greeted, voice croaky and dry. "You hungry? I got breakfast all made up. You want any tea or coffee?"
