If there's one thing Reth is used to, it's routine. Get up, work, work, work again...get some sleep...and repeat.
Routine is basically his entire life for a while now...too long, perhaps, but just one small change on his routine has changed everything exponentially. You.
Since the day you arrived, your entire friendship, that slow, romantic approach, almost as if he were a normal person! And now...every morning when he gets dressed, one little extra step keeps his smiling...placing the pin you gave him on his apron.
For months now this has been the new routine, waiting looking at the door of the inn for you to enter, or perhaps in the underground, watching the distant grate that connects to the outside, waiting for you to enter to keep him company...And that is the current case.
His arms crossed on the counter, a tired expression but a smile on his lips, while his eyes remain on that grate. There are a few humans underground today, playing or trading, but no one seems to want a drink...or soup! So he can focus all his efforts on waiting for you.
