He looked at his clock again, it was a digital one so it was easier for him to know the time. He looked up at the restaurant's name they agreed to meet at and then opened the door and walked in. Someone greeted him instantly and he simply told them he was here to meet with Tyler. He didn't even need to tell them his name, they immediately knew who he was talking about and guided him to his table. He pulled a chair and sat accommodating himself and clearing his throat.

"Sorry I'm late," he says with a gentle smile. He knows he's late for like 15 minutes but he's used to always arrive on time when required to and now with these clocks time was easier to tell than before.

"I couldn't find what to wear," he says with a rather shy smile and a bit uncomfortable, he hated being late specially to a date. He met Tyler through his partner, his police partner. They had a successful first date and had agreed to meet again for a second one, which they arranged through texts.

Armand had insisted on a restaurant instead of another coffee shop. He wanted somewhere more fancy to take him to eat and Tyler had suggested this place. It was a nice place too, he took a moment to look around and smiled. Nice indeed, the guy had definitely captured what he had in mind before.

He knocked on Tyler's door, a bouquet of flowers in his hand. Orion checked the flowers again, fixing them a bit, before facing the door once more. He was nervous. Their dates had gone great so far, though they hadn't had that many either but it was a promise of something to come. He knows his job is all over the place, he's busy keeping everything stocked but he's hoping he's home today, now, he's hoping he's home now. Today had 24h to be home at and he needed Tyler at home now.

He might be being selfish, but he wanted to see him and with the man's address he took the step to come visit with some flowers. They could order some takeout and chat for a bit, maybe watch a movie. Nothing indecent, of course, but he wouldn't mind... no, too early. He had to be a gentleman.

He looked up from the floor as the door opened and he smiled at Tyler. "Hi. Hope I'm not interrupting anything. I thought... I could pass by and bring you some flowers? Maybe watch something together," he offers. "It's okay if you're busy, I know I dropped out of nowhere." Armand quickly adds and hands over the bouquet.

Back in Willowshire he would go alone at night to the river and bathe there whenever he could just to enjoy the night and fresh air, to think in peace and relax. The hot springs weren't like the river, they were hot and public. Very public. But this late at night not many came to bathe, he knew because he had tested it several times already. So, tonight he decided to bathe naked like he did in the river and simply look up at the strange stars, these stars were different from the ones he was used to and some weren't even visible because of the lights of the city but the moon was always the same and he wondered if his kids were looking at them too or if they were sleeping already.

It was then he heard footsteps, too close, and by the time he covered himself with his underwear he saw Tyler standing there and eyeing him. He laughed nervously and looked away. "You have a terrible timing," he says looking down at his hands where he was holding his underwear covering himself with the piece of wet cloth. "Mind if I get dress?" He asks not knowing where they stood yet where it came to nakedness.

His old mark was bruised colored and very exposed right now, he wanted to cover it too more than he wanted to cover himself and his more intimate parts.
